THE
NEW ENGLAND
HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL
REGISTER
JANUARY, 1918
CHARLES SIDNEY ENSIGN, LL.B.
By Charles Sidnet Ension, Jr., A.B., J.B., of Newton, Maaa.
Charles Sidney Ensign, a life member of the New England
Historic Genealogical Society since 1889, Corresponding Secretary
of the Society in 1895, at various times a member of its Council,
and at the time of his death Vice-President of the Society for Massa-
chusetts, died at his home in Newton, Mass., 10 April 1917, in the
seventy-fifth year of his age.
He was born at Hartford, Conn., 26 July 1842, the only child of
Sidney Ariel and Julia Maria (Brockway) Ensign, and was seventh
in descent from James 1 Ensign of Cambridge, Mass., and Hartford;
Conn., through David, 2 Thomas, 8 Moses, 4 Isaac, 6 Ariel, 6 and Sidney
Ariel, 7 his father.
The Ensign family is probably of Frisian or Danish origin, its
eponymous ancestor in England being, we may assume, one of the
early invaders of the British Isles who in the period of the Teutonic
migrations settled in Kent. It is likely that he was called Ens,
from the name of his former home, a small fishing community on
the isle of Schokland in the Zuyder Zee, included in the region then
known as Frisia and now a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
In 1852, on account of the inroads of the sea, the inhabitants of this
little island were ordered to abandon it and seek abodes elsewhere.
The son of this invader was doubtless known as Ensing, -ing being
an old English term meaning "descended from," which was used
later to designate a family or tribe. It is a singular fact that this
name kept its original form, with only slight variations in spelling,
until after some of the bearers of this surname had migrated to New
England. In Hartford, Conn., the name appears as Ensing, the
form used by a witness to a will in October 1666 and in the wills of
James 1 Ensign and his wife Sarah in 1670 and 1676.
Early English records speak of the family as ancient and honor-
able, but small. Its seat was at Chilham, co. Kent, not far from
Canterbury. On the present map of Kent, a few miles north of
Chilham, may be found an Ensden Wood, and near it is a hamlet
or village called Ensden, Ensden being a contraction from Ensingden.
It would appear, therefore, that at an early date an Ensing made
his abode in a wooded vale, called in Old English a "den." The
vol. Lxxn. 1

arms of the Chilham family were: Sable, three swords erect argent,
pommels or, two and one. In 18 Richard II [1394 . r )| Richard
of William do Ensigne, held a manor called Knsigne's manor. A
younger branch of the family was settled at Windham in Norfolk,
an old Saxon locality. Their arms, according to the Visitations of
Norfolk, were: Sable, three swords erect in tease, points in chief,
argent, hilts and pommels or, a crescent for difference. The male
line of the Knsings of Windham soon became extinct.* That the
Ensigns of New England were an offshoot from the English family
of Ensing is a reasonable conjecture, but not a proved fact.
A Thomas Ensigne came to the Plymouth Colony in 1633/4,
and settled at Scituate. He married, 17 January 1G3S/9, Elizabeth
Wilder, f and he was propounded for admission as freeman on 5 March
following. He became, an influential man in the Colonv, and died
in 16G3. In his will, dated 16 July 1663 and proved 9 June 1664,
he mentioned his surviving children, John, Hannah, and Sarah.
Another son, Thomas, of Cranbrook, co. Kent, yeoman, had died five
or six years earlier, and in his will, dated 3 September 1657 and
proved 24 March 1657/8, had mentioned his father, Thomas Ensigne,
his brother John, and his sisters Hannah and Sarah, all in New
England.}: John was killed in 1676 in King Philip's War, and by
his death the male line of this branch of the family became extinct.
James 1 Ensign, probably the ancestor of every Ensign in the
United States and presumably the brother of Thomas, came to
Newtown, now Cambridge, Mass., with Rev. Thomas Hooker's com-
pany. In Governor Winthrop's History of New England, under date
of 14 August 1632, is this entry: "The Braintree company, (which
had begun to sit down at Mount Wollaston,) by order of court,
removed to Newtown. These were Mr. Hooker's company." It is
supposed that they were called the Braintree Company because
they came from Braintree, a town about forty miles from London.
This change, however, was not permanent, for in May 1636 Gov-
ernor Winthrop entered in his History: "Mr. Hooker, pastor of
the church of Newtown, and the most of his congregation, went to
Connecticut. His wife was carried in a horse litter; and they drove
one hundred and sixty cattle, and fed of their milk by the way."
Among this company of hardy pioneers was James Ensign. Where
and when he was born is unknown; but it appears that he was
made a freeman in Cambridge on 4 March 1634/5, and owned an
estate on the easterly side of Brighton Street, extending from Mt.
Auburn Street to Winthrop Street.
On his removal to the Hartford settlement, as one of the original
proprietors he was allotted twenty-four acres on the south side of
the town. He was prominent in church and town affairs, was
chosen constable for several years, and was chimney viewer, sur-
veyor, and townsman. In February 1669/70 he, with his wife Sarah

Harlexan Society, vol. 32).
t This was evidently not his first marriage.
X This will is recorded in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. Register Woolton,
198. It contains much genealogical information, the testator mentioning his uncle
William Austen and several other relatives. Cf. abstract in New York Genealogical and
Biographical Record, vol. 42, p. 97.

and thirty others, formed the South, or Second, Congregational
Church. He died in November 1670, and in his will bequeathed
£6 "towards the building of the new meeting house." His estate
was appraised at £729. 2s. 9d., a considerable estate for that period.
His wife died in 1070.
His son, David, 2 was born at Hartford in 1G44. Like his father
he was prominent in church and town affairs, and was chosen
chimney viewer, surveyor, and grand juryman. He married first, 22
October 1003, Mehitable Gunn, daughter of Thomas Gunn of Wind-
sor, Conn., who came from Dorchester, Mass., in 1030; and secondly
Sarah (Wilcocks) Long of Middletown, Conn., daughter of John and
Sarah (Savage) Wilcocks and former wife of Thomas Long. He was
one of the first settlers of West Hartford, whither he moved in 1713,
and was a petitioner for the establishment there of an ecclesiastical
society, his name standing first on the list of church members. He
died 14 December 1727, in his eighty-third year, and was buried in
the old cemetery in West Hartford, where his gravestone bears the
following inscription: "Here Lyeth the Body of M r Dauid Ensign
Who Died Decem r ye 14th 1727 in ye 83 year of his age."
Thomas 3 Ensign, son of David, was born 7 December 1008. He
married, 1 December 1092, Hannah Shepard, daughter of John and
Rebecca (Greenhill) Shepard. He, too, played his part in the affairs
of the Colony, holding the offices of chimney viewer, constable,
grand juryman, and surveyor of highways. He died in January or
February 1737/8.
Moses 4 Ensign, the date of whose birth is uncertain, was bap-
tized 29 February 1707/8 in the Second Church at Hartford. He
married, 3 January 1731/2, Love Andrus or Andrews, daughter of
Thomas and Love (Knight) Andrus, and died 20 May 1751.
Isaac 5 Ensign, a skilful and noted blacksmith, the recipient in
1770 of a grant of land from the town of Simsbury, Conn., on which
he built his blacksmith's shop in 1770-1, and a soldier in the Revo-
lutionary War, was born at Hartford 10 December 1747. He mar-
ried, 29 December 1771, Lurannah Pettibone, daughter of Capt.
Jacob and Jennie (Cornish) Pettibone of Simsbury. He was elected
in 1773 surveyor of highways and in 180S was grand juror. He
died 12 May 1810, and was buried in the cemetery in Simsbury,
where the following inscription appears on his tombstone: "Mr
Isaac Ensign was born Dec. 10, 1747 & died May 12, 1810."
Ariel 8 Ensign was born at Simsbury, Conn., 19 July 1778, and was
baptized 21 May 1780. He removed to Hartford, Conn., and was
a teacher, merchant, and the compiler of the first directory of Hart-
ford, in 1S28. Later he was an editor in New York, where he died
about 1844. In 1804 he married Roxy Gilbert of Berlin, Conn.,
daughter of Col. Seth and Lucy (Kelsey) Gilbert, and a descendant
of Jonathan Gilbert, the first marshal of the Hartford Colony and
grandfather of Jonathan Belcher, Colonial governor of Massachu-
setts and later of New Jersey. He held the offices of lister, fence
viewer, collector, and grand juror.
Sidney Ariel 7 Ensign, son of Ariel and father of the subject of
this memoir, was born at Simsbury, Conn., 3 February 1817. He
6 Charles Sidney Ensign [Jan.
was a boot and shoe merchant in Hartford, and afterwards an ex-
tensive real-estate operator in Connecticut, New York, and the West,
He was a member of the Hartford Common Council in 1860-61,
and a man of unquestioned ability and integrity. During the Civil
War he was treasurer of the Union Defence Committee of Hartford,
and in this capacity upwards of $200,000 passed through his hands,
the auditors finding his accounts accurate to a cent. He married
Julia Maria Brockway, daughter of Alva and Maria (Hull) Brock-
way, granddaughter of Elijah Brockway, son of Isaac, a drummer
in the War of 1812, great-great-granddaughter of Samuel Brockway,
who served under Pepperell in the siege of Louisburg, and a direct
descendant of Wolston Brockway, one of the original settlers of Lyme,
Conn.
Charles Sidney 8 Ensign received his early education in private
and public schools at Hartford, Conn., in the commercial school of
Nicholas Harris, and in the private school of Edward L. Hart at
Farmington, Conn. At the age of fifteen he was prepared to enter
Yale College, but owing to poor health abandoned his studies and
entered his father's boot and shoe warehouse, where he remained
until he was sixteen. He then entered the law office of Thomas C.
and Charles E. Perkins, leading lawyers in Hartford, and remained
with them for one year, when he entered the Hopkins Grammar
School, with the idea of preparing again for college, but again ill
health compelled him to abandon this plan. In September 1861
he entered the Harvard Law School, and was graduated with the
degree of Bachelor of Laws on 15 July 1863. He remained at Har-
vard another year, pursuing a postgraduate course. He was ad-
mitted to the Middlesex County bar at Cambridge, 5 January 1864,
intending at that time to practise law in Boston, and entered the
law office of James Bradley Thayer, Esq., late professor in the Har-
vard Law School. He decided, however, to return to Hartford,
was admitted to the Connecticut bar 19 July 1864 and to the bar of
the United States Circuit and District Courts 23 November 1864,
and began the practice of the law at Hartford.
On 10 April 1865, before he was twenty-three years of age, he
was elected a member of the Hartford Common Council, and served
on a special committee to confer with a committee of the Connecti-
cut State Legislature in regard to the erection of a new capitol in
Hartford. This conference resulted in the agitation that caused
the abolition by constitutional amendment of the capital at New
Haven.
In July 1865 he went to Europe, and remained there until August
1867, engaged in study and travel. He visited many countries,
including England, France, Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Germany,
Italy, Austria, Hungary, Poland, and Russia. He attended lectures
at the College of France in Paris, although he was not regularly
matriculated in that institution.
In the fall of 1867 he settled in New York City, and on 9 April
1868, at the general term of the Supreme Court, was admitted to
the New York bar.
In 1871 he moved his home to Brooklyn, N. Y., and there became
1918] Charles Sidney Ensign 7
interested in public affairs, serving as president of the Citizens'
Association, and as vice-president of the Citizens' Democratic Asso-
ciation of King's County. He was a member of the Municipal
Union Society, organized 12 February 1874, to promote the union
of New York City with Brooklyn, a manager of the Advisory Com-
mittee of Ward 22, and a member of the Board of Managers of the
Brooklyn Association for Improving the Condition of Um Poor.
He was also an original member of the Bar Association of Brooklyn,
organized 17 June 1872. On 24 January 187G he was elected for
three years a delegate at large from Ward 22 to the Democratic
General Committee of King's County, and during the Tilden cam-
paign he was its corresponding secretary. On 15 February 1877 he
was elected a delegate from the Twenty-second Ward Tax-Payers'
Association to the Tax-Payers' Central Association of the City of
Brooklyn. On 5 March 1877 he was elected its secretary and on
5 March 1878 its president. It was through this organization that
real municipal reform in that city was begun. He was also a mem-
ber of the influential, nonpartisan Committee of One Hundred.
In the fall of 1879 Mr. Ensign removed to Watertown, Mass.,
and in 1884 engaged in the active practice of the law in Boston.
In Watertown likewise he took a leading part in town affairs. He
was a member of the School Board for eight years (1886-1894) and
a trustee of the Public Library for three years (1887-1890), being
secretary of the Board in 1887 and its chairman in 1888 and 1889.
He declined a reelection to each office. He was also moderator of
the Watertown town meetings. In 1891 he represented Watertown
and Belmont in the General Court, serving as chairman of the
Library Committee of the House of Representatives and as clerk
of the Committee on Probate and Insolvency and being one of the
twenty members who caused the defeat of the Salary Grab Bill.
In 1895 he was a candidate for senator on a Citizens' ticket from
the second Middlesex senatorial district, but was defeated by the
Republican nominee by only nineteen votes, the usual Republican
majority being three thousand. This defeat was due to the refusal
of the authorities to allow a recount of the vote in the city of Waltham,
as everything indicated his election.
In 1897 he moved his home to Newton, Mass., where he continued
to take the same active part in public affairs. He was a member of
the Board of Aldermen for five years (1901-1905), serving on the
Committee on Public Works and as chairman of the Committee on
Claims; and in the spring of 1917 he was a candidate for delegate
to the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention, but was defeated
in the primary election.
In politics he was always a firm believer in the principles of Thomas
Jefferson, although independent, especially in municipal affairs. He
came by these beliefs naturally, as one of his grandfathers voted
for Thomas Jefferson and both voted for Andrew Jackson. In 1884
he allied himself with the Independents of Massachusetts. In 1887
he became a member of the Young Men's Democratic Club of Massa-
chusetts, was elected in December 188S to its Executive Committee,
and in August 1SS9 was made secretary of the Committee, with
8 Charles Sidney Ensign [Jan.
headquarters at 127A Tremont Street, Boston* During his resi-
dence in Brooklyn his name was considered for the Board of Educa-
tion, the Legislature, the Mayoralty, and the Bench; and m Massa-
chusetts his name was twice presented to the Governor as a poesible
selection for judicial honors. He never sought political preferment.
The offices which he filled were Urged upon him without solicitation
on his part, and often without his knowledge and against hi.s will.
He was firmly convinced that "the office should seek the man and
not the man the office."
In the earlier part of his life Mr. Ensign was connected with the
Protestant Episcopal Church, having been confirmed in St. John's
Church, Hartford, by Bishop Williams of Connecticut, 30 August
18G3. From the time of his removal to New York until G June
1869 he was a communicant of Grace Church, New York. At that
time, with his wife, he united with the Madison Avenue Presby-
terian Church, and on 4 January 1874 both united by letter with
the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church in Brooklyn. On re-
moving to Massachusetts, on 7 March 1880 both united with the
Eliot Congregational Church of Newton.
In 1885 he was president of the Eliot Literary Association, con-
nected with the Eliot Church. For seventeen years he was clerk
of the Eliot Religious Society, and was often moderator of its meetings
and church auditor. He was likewise a strong supporter of the
Sunday school, and for a number of years before his death had been
leader of the Mutual Bible Class, an adult class, which is older than
the Church itself.
In the field of organized charity and social welfare also Mr. Ensign
was active. At the time of his death he was a director of the New-
ton Welfare Bureau and was first vice-president of the Florence
Crittenton League of Compassion, being a director of the latter
organization and chairman of its Executive Committee. He had
also been, since January 1904, president of the Associated Charities
of Newton.
From early manhood Mr. Ensign had devoted much time to the
study of family history and to genealogical and antiquarian research.
For nearly sixty years he had been engaged in the examination of
records, both public and private, relating to the Ensign family, and
had been able to collect a vast amount of interesting information.
In fact he had compiled a genealogical history of its various branches,
and hoped that some day he would be able to publish it. This
genealogy is invaluable, and is now in the possession of his son. He
had also collected much material of value regarding the Hull, Gil-
bert, and Brockway families, and had accumulated valuable data
of an historical character.
Elected a resident member of the New England Historic Genea-
logical Society on G November 1SS9, he became a life member in the
same year, and for more than a quarter of a century endeavored in
every possible way to promote the welfare pf the Society, rendering
to it loyal and faithful service in the numerous and various positions
to which he was called by vote of the Council or of the Society.
He was repeatedly appointed to important committees in the Society,
1918] Charles Sidney Ensign 9
being a member of the Committee on Ancient Graveyards in 1899,
of the Committee on the Cabinet in 1900 and 1901, of the Committee
on Graveyard Inscriptions in 1901 and 1902, of the Committee on
Memorials (holding the position of editor of this committee) in 1902,
of the Committee on Epitaphs during the ten years 1903-1912
(serving as chairman in 1911 and 1912), and of the Committee on
the Library from 1914 until his death (being chairman from 1915
on). In 1914 he was appointed by the President of the Society as
chairman of a Special Committee on Revision of the By-Laws, and
reported from this committee to the Society the amendments to
Chapters II, III, IX, and XII of the By-Laws, which were adopted
on 3 May 1916, the most important change introduced by these
amendments being the transfer of the election of members of the
Society from the Society to the Council. He continued as chair-
man of this committee until his death, and he was also, in March
1917, placed on a committee on which he had not previously served,
the Committee on Finance. In February 1893, only a few years
after his membership in the Society began, he was chosen by the
Society to fill a vacancy in the Council; he was elected Correspond-
ing Secretary of the Society for the year 1895; and on three different
occasions he was elected as Councillor for the full term of three years,
viz., for the years 1896-1898, 1900-1902, and 1914-1916. At the
annual meeting of the Society on 7 February 1917 he was nomi-
nated and unanimously elected as Vice-President for Massachusetts,
in succession to the late Nathaniel Johnson Rust, whose death had
occurred only two days before this meeting. He had often been
summoned to act as chairman pro tempore at the meetings of the
Council or of the Society, especially at the annual meetings of the
Society, when the election of officers and councillors took place.
His conspicuous ability as a presiding officer was recognized by all.
Not the least of his services to the Society in recent years was the
preparation of a memoir of the late Col. Albert Harrison Hoyt, A.M.,
a former editor of the Register and prominent member of the
governing board of the Society, a task for which Mr. Ensign was
especially fitted by reason of his long-standing acquaintance with
Colonel Hoyt. This memoir was published in the Register of Jan-
uary 1916.
On the membership rolls of many other organizations — social,
literary, historical, patriotic, legal — Mr. Ensign's name was to be
found. Since 1885 he had been a member of the Newton Monday
Evening Club, organized in 1880, a social and literary organization,
and for many years he was its secretary. He was also one of the
founders of the Eight O'Clock Club, a similar organization for
younger men. He was a life member of the American Historical
Association, a member of the Connecticut Historical Society and
of the Newton Historical Society, a corresponding member of the
Maine Historical Society, an original member and one of the incor-
porators of the Historical Society of Watertown, and formerly a
member of the Bostonian Society. He was an associate member
of Charles Ward Post No. 62, G. A. R., and also a member of
the Bunker Hill Monument Association, an original member of the
10 A Grandson of Elder Thomas Cushman [Jan.
Massachusetts Bar Association, and a life member of the Harvard
Law School Association, organized in 1886.
Mr. Ensign married, 2 December 18G8, Angeline Faxon Barker,
daughter of Hiram and Hepseybeth (Faxon) Barker of Brighton,
Mass., and great-granddaughter of Lieut. Roger Adams, who fought
in the Battle of Lexington. Mrs. Ensign and their two children,
Angie Gertrude Ensign and Charles Sidney Ensign, Jr., a lawyer
practising in Boston, survive him.
Mr. Ensign was a sound lawyer, and a profound student not only
of the law but also of the science of government, economics, and
kindred subjects. He was an able parliamentarian, and was in
constant demand as a presiding officer at all kinds of public meetings.
He was a lover of good books, and his numerous addresses and
papers, principally of an historical and genealogical nature, show a
high grade of literary skill.
He was a friend to all. The poor laborer in the street as well as
the wealthy neighbor greeted him heartily. As some one said of
him not long ago, "In all the many years I have known him I have
heard not the slightest word spoken against him or his character."
He was blessed with a long and busy life, well-rounded, useful,
and happy. Since boyhood he had enjoyed perfect health. His
death came suddenly, for he was apparently in his usual vigor until
three days before, when he was stricken with pneumonia.
No more we hear his footsteps; we see his vacant chair; we miss
his kindly greetings; but we think of him, and thank God that
" His life was gentle; and the elements
So mix'd in him, that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world, This was a man! "
A GRANDSON OF ELDER THOMAS CUSHMAN
AND SOME OF HIS DESCENDANTS
Compiled by James Thomas Cushman of Seattle, Wash., and communicated by
Theodore Parker Adams, A.B., of Plymouth, Mass.
In Henry Wyles Cushman's "Genealogy of the Cushmans," pub-
lished in 1855, and in Savage's "Genealogical Dictionary of New
England," Thomas Cushman, eldest child of Elder Thomas Cushman
of Plymouth in New England, is said to have had five children, viz.,
by Ruth Howland, afterwards his first wife, a son named Robert,
who was born 4 Oct. 1664, and by his second wife, Abigail Fuller,
four sons, Job, born probably about 1680, Bartholomew, baptized
13 Mar. 16S4 [1684/5), Samuel, born 16 July 1687, and Benjamin,
baptized 1 Mar. 1690/1. Neither to this Thomas, however, nor to
any one of his three brothers, Rev. Isaac, Dea. Elkanah, and Eleazar,
has a son named Thomas been assigned in printed accounts of the
family, and therefore it has been believed that no son of Elder Thomas
Cushman had a son named Thomas. It is the purpose of this article
1918] A Grandson of Elder Thomas Cushman 11
to show that Thomas Cushman, the eldest child of Elder Thomas,
had a son named Thomas, and to trace to the present day one line
of descendants of this last-named Thomas.
In a deed dated 3 Feb. 1702 [1702/3) Thomas Cushman of Plym-
outh, undoubtedly the son of the Elder, conveyed land in Dux-
bury to Thomas Loring of Plymouth, "being the Spott upon which
my Son, Thomas Cushman hath built." The deed is acknowledged,
5 Feb. 1702/3, by Thomas Cushman and his wife Abigail, and proves
that Thomas Cushman, son of the Elder, had a son who bore his
father's name. (Plymouth Deeds, Book 4, p. 1G7.) In a deed
dated 4 Feb. 1702/3 Thomas Loring of Plymouth and Thomas
Cushman of Duxbury (probably the son Thomas mentioned in the
deed of the previous day) conveyed land in Duxbury to Maj. John
Bradford of Plymouth, Sarah, wife of Thomas Cushman, joining,
5 Feb. 1702/3, in acknowledging the deed. (lb., Book 10, part 1,
p. 221.) This Thomas Cushman of Duxbury removed to Lebanon,
Conn., a deed recorded at Lebanon showing that on 1 Apr. 1703
Thomas Coachman of Duxbury in the Province of the Massachusetts
Bay bought land in Lebanon of Henry Woodward of Lebanon.
(Lebanon Land Records, vol. 1, p. 281.) On gravestones in the Old
Cemetery at Lebanon are the following inscriptions:
Here lies the Body of Mr. Thomas Cushman, late husband of Mrs.
Sarah Cushman, who died January 9, 1727, aged 57 years. [Verses
follow.]
Here lies the Body of Mrs. Sarah Cushman, late wife of Mr. Thomas
Cushman, who died Dec. 25, 1726, aged 52 years. [Verses follow.]
This Thomas Cushman, therefore, was born about 1670, and must
have been the son of Thomas Cushman by the latter's first wife,
Ruth Howland, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Tilley) Howland,
both of whom were passengers in the Mayflower in 1620. Sarah,
wife of Thomas Cushman of Duxbury and Lebanon, was daughter
of Jedediah Strong of Coventry, Conn., as is proved by a receipt
(dated Coventry, 25 Sept. 1733) from William Cushman [son of
Thomas and Sarah] to "Preserved Strong Executor of y* last will of
his father Jedediah Strong late of Coventry deceased," for 9s. 9d.,
"in full of what was will'd to me by my honoured Grandfather
Jedediah Strong." (Windham, Conn., Probate Records, vol. 2, p.
260.) The following brief genealogy shows some of the descendants
of Elder Thomas Cushman in the line of his grandson, Thomas of
Duxbury and Lebanon ; and it will be observed that the name Thomas
has descended in this branch of the family from father to son, from
Elder Thomas of Plymouth almost to the present day.
1. Robert 1 Cutchman or Cushman,* baptized at Rolvenden, co.
Kent, England, 9 Feb. 1577/8, died in England, probably in the
summer of 1625. He married first, in the parish of St. Alphege,
Canterbury, England, 31 July 1606, Sara Reder, who dwelt in the
precincts of the Cathedral at Canterbury and whose parentage has
* Robert Cutchman or Cushman was son of Thomas and Elinor (Hubbard) Couch-
man of Rolvenden, co. Kent, Eng., and information about this family may be found
in Reoister, vol. 6S, pp. 181-184.

Kent, shoemaker, the licence for her marriage to her first husband,
which was to be celebrated at St. Mary Bredman's, Canterbury,
being dated 28 Jan.. 1610/11. Robert Cushman is well known as the
agent of the Leyden Pilgrims in England, and arrived at Plymouth
in New England, with his son Thomas, in the Fortune in Nov. 1621.
He sailed for England in the same ship about a month later, on busi-
ness for the Colony, leaving his son Thomas in the care of Governor
Bradford. Apparently his wife never carne to New England, and
she probably died before her husband and stepson began their voyage
to Plymouth in 1621.*

ably about 1636, Mary Allerton, born at Leyden, Holland,

According to the records of the First Church of Boston, Mass.,
Ann and Frances Freestone, "kinswomen of our brother, William
Hutchinson," were admitted to the church on 9, 9 mo., and 28,
10 mo., 1634, respectively. In Lechford's Note-Book (pp. 327-328
of the printed book) is the following entry, placed immediately after
an entry dated 26 Oct. 1640:
Elizabeth Freestone late of Alford in the County of Lincolne and now of
Boston in New England spinster daughter of Richard Freeston late of Horn-
castle in the County of Lincolne aforesaid wollendraper deceased makes a

Northampton Executor of the last will & testament of my grandmother Mary
Cuthbert given me by her will.
In the Essex Institute Historical Collections, vol. 48, pp. 265-268
(July, 1912), the contributor of this article, in an account of the
early generations of the Turner family of Salem, Mass., showed that
Ann, Frances, and Elizabeth Freestone were sisters, and from infor-
mation derived from English records and " Lincolnshire Pedigrees " *
explained the genealogical statements contained in the entry in Lech-
ford's Note-Book and set forth the English ancestry of the Freestone
sisters and their exact relationship to the Hutcliinsons. Frances
Freestone became the first wife of Valentine Hill of Boston, and
Elizabeth Freestone married Robert Turner of Boston. In the
present article are given abstracts of English wills and entries found
in English parish registers that confirm and supplement what has
already been published about the English ancestry and connections
of the three Freestone sisters.

held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ashburton Place, at 2.30 P.M., Vice-President Chaae

sponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the Council
reporting the names of fiity-two persons who had been elected resident members.
An election by ballot to fill the vacancy existing in the office of Vice-President
for Massachusetts being in order, the Chair appointed Walter Kendall Watkins,
George Beckwith Stevens, M.D., and Mrs. Ida Louise Farr Miller as tellers to
distribute, receive, and count the ballots and to report to the Society at a later
stage in the meeting.
The Chair then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Hon. Howard Ran-
dolph Bayne, M.A., LL.B., of New York City, who addressed the Society on The
Orxgin and Application of the Monroe Doctrine.
Beginning with a short sketch of the life and career of President Monroe,
Senator Bavne set forth the important historic events which led up to the policy
propounded by Monroe in his famous message to Congress. The significance of
the principles laid down in this message was pointed out, and in conclusion a
number of instances were cited in which the Monroe Doctrine was effectively
applied by later presidents.
After some remarks by Mr. James H. Stark in reference to President Cleve-
land's application of the Monroe Doctrine in the Venezuelan boundary dispute
in 1895 ; a vote of thanks to Senator Bayne for his clear, interesting, and scholarly
exposition of the Monroe Doctrine was unanimously adopted.
Vice-President Chase then called Mr. Scott to the chair, and the report of the
tellers was presented. In accordance with this report the Chair announced the
election of John Carroll Chase as Vice-President for Massachusetts.
Vice-President Chase, on resuming the chair, thanked the Society for the
honor conferred in electing him Vice-President for Massachusetts, and then, no
further business being presented, declared the meeting dissolved.
After the meeting the usual social hour followed.
7 November. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-

pointed Recording Secretary pro tempore.

Council reporting the names of three persons who had been elected resident
members.
By ballot the following were elected members of the Nominating Committee:

Sawin Stewart, and Mrs. Susan Cotton Tufts.
President Baxter then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Mr. Henry
Collins Brown of New York City, who exhibited, in connection with his subject,
A Night with John Pintard in Old New York, an interesting series of pictures
showing the contrast between old New York and the New York of to-day.

the speaker, and after remarks by Mr. James H. Stark, who seconded this motion,
and by Mrs. Sara W. Lee-Mortimer, the motion was adopted by a unanimous

Vice-President Chase then presented as the speaker of the afternoon Lieut.
Robert Archer Bowlby, of the Canadian Grenadiers, who had recently returned
from active service at the front.
Lieutenant Bowlby was born in Somcrville, but, being in Canada at the out-
break of the war, he enlisted in the Canadian forces. With an ingenuous, boyish,
and direct manner, he held his audience for over an hour while he narrated per-
sonal experiences and visualized the life of the average American youth crossing
the seas to fight for his country. Interspersed with anecdotes of trench life were
statements of serious facts which revealed a keen discernment of the larger issues
of the war. Frequent applause accompanied his remarks, and on motion of
Judge Henry N. Blake a vote of thanks was adopted.
After questions had been asked from the floor, at 4.15 P.M. the Chair declared
the meeting dissolved.

sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this

Leavenworth. — A private graveyard was once in existence on Good Hill in
Roxbury, Conn., near the Woodbury town line, on the road leading to "Tophet."
It was established in 1805 (Roxbury Deeds, vol. 2, p. 538) by Elihu Leavenworth,
who for this purpose conveyed a corner of his farm to Capt. David Leavenworth,
Gideon Leavenworth, Morse Leavenworth, Thomas Bcardslee, Ephraim Beards-
lee, and Samuel Thompson, reserving one seventh of the lot to himself. About
forty years ago the Elihu Leavenworth farm, adjoining the graveyard, came into
possession of a man who resided there until recently, when it was again trans-
ferred. The present owner found the graveyard under cultivation, the only
indication that it had been used as a burial ground being gravestones which had
been thrown alongside the wall. Other stones and fragments were found in the
cellar, where they were used as table tops and as props for a stove.
The Beardslee stones were removed several years ago to the modern cemetery
in Roxbury, so that all but one of those still remaining on Good Hill are Leaven-
worth stones. The facts derived from the records still decipherable are given
below, the words in brackets having been supplied by the contributor.

The Leavenworth Genealogy (followed therein by later publications) states
that Thomas' Leavenworth, eon of Thomas 1 and Grace, married Mary Jenkins
daughter of David, basing the assertion on the fact that Thomas* called Davia
Jenkins his father-in-law. This is erroneous. Grace, widow of Thomas' Leaven-
worth, married secondly David Jenkins, as surmised by Cothren (History of Wood-
bury). Thomas 1 Leavenworth married Mary.- Dorman, born 12 May 1680,
daughter of Edmund and Hannah (Hull) of New Haven, Conn. In the settle-
ment of the estate of Edmund Dorman in 1711 his daughter Mary is called wife
of Thomas Lcvensworth of Stratford. It is likely that Mary Dorman was mother
of all the children of Thomas, since the youngest was named Edmund, and the
son Thomas* named a son Dorman.
John* Leavenworth, son of Thomas 1 and Mary (Dorman), married first Deb-
orah Moss, born 10 Feb. 1714/15. They were parents of the Capt. David and
grandparents of the Morse Leavenworth whose gravestone inscriptions arc given
above. The Leavenworth Genealogy gives Deborah's maiden name as Hurd
instead of Moss.
The same publication assumes that John 1 Leavenworth, the only other son
(besides Thomas 1 ) of Thomas 1 and Grace, left no issue. John removed from
Stratford, Conn., to Newtown, Conn., married Phebe Wooster of Derby, Conn.,
(see New Haven Probate Records and Derby Deeds), and died in Feb. 1762. In
his will he mentioned wife Phebe, son Thomas, and daughters Alice Camp, Sarah
Botsford, and Abigail Turner; also son Lemuel Camp and grandsons Jabez
Botsford and Jeremiah Turner, Jr. (Danbury Probate Records, vol. 1, p. 229.)

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Register, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inheriteo: a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make appli cation for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms ana making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any appli cation altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.

It Becraa evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in sire, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photograplis of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.
Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on tnis subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.
Sherman. — Thomas Townsend Sherman, Esq., of GO Wall Street, New York
City, has compiled a genealogy of the Sherman family, beginning with Thomas
Sherman of Diss, co. Norfolk, England, who died in 1493, and including many of
his descendants in England for several generations. The American families given
in this work are descendants of the immigrants Samuel Sherman, Ilev. John
Sherman, and Capt. John Sherman of Watertown, Mass. The book will soon be
published by Tobias A. Wright of New York City.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are advised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

HENRY DEERING, A.M.
By Lawrence Brainerd of Cambridge, Maaa.
Henry Deering, elected to resident membership in the New
England Historic Genealogical Society in 1877, made a life member
in 1894, and for the years 1913-1917 Vice-President of the Society
for Maine, passed away at his family residence, familiarly known as
"Deering Mansion," in Portland, Me., on the morning of 19 August
1917. He was born at Portland 29 September 1842, the son of
Nathaniel and Anna Margaret (Holwell) Deering.
In the death of Mr. Peering Portland lost one of its most con-
spicuous citizens, whose broad humanitarian interests and varied
activities as a lawyer, man of affairs, trustee of public institutions,
philanthropist, antiquarian, and art connoisseur had placed him in
the front rank of the city's native sons.
The Deering family of Maine has the somewhat unusual distinction
of having maintained for nearly three centuries its residence in sub-
stantially the same locality in which the first American ancestor of
the name made his original settlement; and for nearly two centuries
the members, of this family have been prominently identified with
Portland as leaders in the business, intellectual and social life of that
city.
The immigrant ancestor of this family, George 1 Deering, a native
of England, came to America in 1635 and settled as a planter on
Richmond Island, off the coast of Cape Elizabeth, in Maine. For
several years he was employed by Robert Trelawney, who main-
tained, under Capt. John Winter, a flourishing fishing and trading
post at Richmond Island. Later he removed to Scarborough, Me.
His son, Roger 2 Deering, who was born at Scarborough, and died at
Kittery, Me., in 1676, was a substantial citizen and successful ship-
wright.
Clement 3 Deering, son of Roger, married, in 1678, Joan, daughter
of John Bray (an eminent shipbuilder of lottery) and maternal aunt
of Lieut.-Gen. Sir William Pepperrell, Bart., and died in 1701.
Capt. John 4 Deering (1680-1712), a mariner of Kittery, married
Temperance, daughter of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Langdon)
Fernald and granddaughter of Dr. Reginald Fernald, who was surgeon
in Capt. John Mason's company in 1631.
vol. Lxxn. 6
84 Henry Deering [April
Capt. John 6 Deering (1710-1758) of Kittery commanded the
vessels of his father's cousin, Sir William Pepperrell, and married
Anna, daughter of Nicholas Dunn, Esq., of Boston.
Capt. Nathaniel 6 Deering (1736-1795), great-grandfather of Henry
Deering* in his early manhood removed from Kittery to Portland,
establishing himself there in business with his stepfather, Capt. and
Dea. James Milk, whose daughter, Dorcas Milk, he subsequently
married. At the death of Captain Milk in 1772 Nathaniel Deering,
both as stepson and as son-in-law, came into a large share of his
handsome estate, a portion of which was an extensive and valuable
tract of land lying between Middle Street and Exchange Street and
extending from Middle Street to the low-water mark. By his pur-
chases of other tracts of land in different parts of the city and his
innate business sagacity he laid securely the foundation of the present
Deering estate. Among these purchases was the beautiful grove of
oaks, later given to the city of Portland by the Deering heirs and
immortalized by Longfellow's poem, "My Lost Youth." Nathaniel
Deering was an ardent patriot, and in 1776 he bought and equipped
the ship Fox as a privateer, letters of marque and reprisal having been
granted to him by Gov. John Hancock. In February 1777 he was
commissioned a captain in Colonel Noyes's regiment by the Massa-
chusetts Council. Captain Deering was survived by two children,
his son James and his daughter Mary, the latter becoming the wife
of Commodore Edward Preble, U. S. N., the hero of Tripoli.
James 7 Deering (1766-1850), a merchant prince of Portland, the
grandfather of Henry Deering, was educated at the famous Dummer
Academy in Byfield, Mass., and on reaching his majority entered
upon a mercantile career of marked distinction. He was one of the
original incorporators and first directors of the Atlantic and St.
Lawrence Railroad and the largest subscriber in Portland to this
successful enterprise. In 1804 he erected on his farm in Westbrook,
Me., "Deering Mansion," now the residence of his great-grandson,
Edward Deering Noyes, Esq. ; and in his honor the town of Deering,
Me., for some years a separate municipality, was named. His wife
was Almira, daughter of Hon. Enoch Ilsley, a noted merchant and a
member of the Committee of Correspondence and Inspection for
Portland during the Revolutionary War. James Deering was sur-
vived by one son, Nathaniel, and by several daughters, two of whom,
Dorcas and Ellen, married respectively Hon. Thomas Amory De-
blois, LL.D., and United States Senator William Pitt Fessenden.
Nathaniel 8 Deering, A.M., lawyer and litterateur, was born at
Portland 25 June 1791, and was graduated with honors at Harvard in
the Class of 1810. His legal studies were pursued under Hon. Ezekiel
Whitman, afterwards Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Maine,
and in 1815 he was admitted to the Maine bar. He practised law
with success till 1836, when he abandoned that profession for litera-
ture, in which he had already gained a standing in that early circle
of American men of letters composed of Willis, Mellen, Percival, and
Neal. He was the author of "Carrabasset," a tragedy in five acts,
founded on the massacre of Father Rasle, and of the well-known
comedy "Clairvoyants," both of which were successfully staged in
1918] Henry Deering 85
Boston and other American cities. In 1851 appeared his tragedy
"Bozzaris," the most carefully written of his productions, which
received the flattering approbation of the best critics of that period.
Possessed of an ample fortune, Mr. Deering was able to devote his
time to the enjoyment of his scholarly inclinations, and the more
mature years of his life were so employed. He died in the spring of
1881, in his ninetieth year. He married at Portland, 4 October 1824,
Anna Margaret Holwell,* and from this union came the subject of
this memoir, Henry 9 Deering, the eighth in a family of nine children.
Henry Deering had the advantage of an academic and classical
education under private tutors in his own home. Reaching his
majority when the Nation was in the midst of the dark days of the
Civil War, young Deering, with patriotic zeal, entered the service of
his country as paymaster's clerk in the United States Navy, and
served for the period 1863-64. After the War he studied law, was
admitted to the Cumberland County bar in June 1870, and for over
forty-seven years was engaged in the practice of his profession, com-
bining the same with the exacting duties involved in the management
of his large property interests and in the unselfish discharge of the
requirements which were incumbent upon him as a trustee and
director of various benevolent and literary institutions.
Mr. Deering joined the Maine Historical Society in 1877, sub-
sequently became a life member of the same, and for many years
served on the standing committee of this organization. This society
is largely indebted to him for most intelligent service and many
material benefactions, including two large portraits in oil (reproduced
from the originals) of Sir William Phipps and Sir William Pepperrell
and a canvas from life of Isaac Ilsley.
The success of the restoration of the Longfellow House, maintained
by this society, owes much to Mr. Deering's enthusiastic labors. To
this now-familiar shrine of historic and literary interest, annually
visited by thousands of tourists, he was most devoted, visiting it
daily and bringing each summer morning, for the adornment of the
rooms, a profusion of floral bloom from his own gardens.
Mr. Deering was a life trustee of the Portland Public Library and
a member of the boards of management of the Maine Genealogical
Society, the Portland Society of Art, and the First Parish (Unitarian)
Church, of which he had been a member of long standing. He found
time for the exercise of literary tastes, and his love and appreciation
of literature and art were conspicuously ardent and most intelligently
* Anna Margaret (Holwell) Deering, the mother of the subject of this memoir, was
born at Belize, British Honduras, 5 November 1805, and was descended from a dis-
tinguished family, the Holwells of Holwell House, Tavistock, Devonshire, England.
She was the daughter of Maj. John Zephaniah Holwell (1775-1813), Royal Army, by
his wife Martha, daughter of William Jackson, an American merchant who resided for
many years at Belize. Her grandfather was Licut.-Col. James Holwell (1747-1S07).
Royal Army, whose wife was Hester, daughter of Thomas Heywood, Esq., Speaker of
the House of Keys of the Isle of Man. Her great-grandfather was Gov. John Zeph-
aniah Holwell (1711-1798). M.D., of Bengal, British India, one of the twenty-three
survivors of the horrors of the Black Hole c' Calcutta (1756), that most dramatic
incident in the history of the British dominion in India. Governor Holwell, whose
portrait was executed by Sir Joshua Reynolds, was the grandson of John Holwell
(1649-16S6), who occupied the post of Astronomer Royal and surveyor of crown lands
and was distinguished as a mathematical author and scientist. Biographies of members
of the Holwell family may be found in the Dictionary of National Biography.

discriminating. In recognition of these accomplishments the Board
of Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin College conferred upon him
in 1908 the honorary degree of Master of Arte.
He was one of the charter members of the Maine Society of Colonial
Wars, and had served as its genealogist for eighteen years. His
eligibility to this society was derived from a score of notable pro-
genitors, among whom may be mentioned Hon. Ambrose Gibbons,
Judge Henry Sherburne, Gov. Tristram Coffin* Surgeon Reginald
Fernald, Capt. Thomas Bradbury, and Capt. Stephen Grecnleaf.
He also enjoyed membership in the historic Order of the Cincinnati,
as the representative of his great-grandfather, Capt. Nathaniel
Deering, and he was enrolled as a member of the Maine Society of
the Sons of the American. Revolution. He was also a member of the
Cumberland Club of Portland and of the Union Club of Boston.
Mr. Deering's strong personality and strict integrity won him
respect and admiration in the professional and business world, and
his broad culture, his natural conversational powers, and his savoir-
vivre made him ever a delightful companion and friend and a thrice-
welcome guest at social gatherings.
To him the poet's allusion in the prelude to "Tales of a Wayside
Inn" may be most aptly applied:
" A man of such a genial mood
The heart of all things he embraced,
And yet of such fastidious taste,
He never found the best too good."
The public bequests in Mr. Deering's will were to the Maine
General Hospital, the Portland Public Library, and the Maine His-
torical Society. The bequest of $3000 to the Maine General Hospi-
tal is to be known as the Anna Margaret Holwell Deering Fund, in
memory of his mother. The money is to be invested and the income
used for the support of a district nurse, who will work among the
poor of Portland. The bequest of $1000 to the Portland Library is
to be known as the Deering Fund, the income of which is to be ex-
pended in the purchase of books of permanent value. The income of
$1000 given to the Historical Society is intended for the purchase (»f
English parish registers, .town and county histories, and books of
value to historians and genealogists. By the terms of his will sub-
stantial bequests also were provided for his immediate relatives' and
for family servants.
Mr. Deering is survived by one sister, Mrs. Marion (Deering)
Noyes of Portland, widow of Col. George Freeman Noyes, U. S.
Volunteers, by a niece, Mrs. Margaret Deering (Gilman) Bursley,
daughter of the late Pay Director Augustus Henry Gilman, U. S.
Navy, and his wife, Margaret (Deering) Gilman, and by four nephews,
Edward Deering Noyes, Ilsley Noyes, George Freeman Noyes, and
Wadsworth Noyes.

THE ENGLISH HOME AND ANCESTRY
OF
JOHN GROSVENOR OF ROXBURY, MASS.
By Daniel Kent, B.A., of Worcester, Mass.
In the Old burying ground at the corner of Washington and Eustis
Streets in Roxbury (now a part of Boston), Mass., on the right of the
entrance gate and not far distant, near the wall on the Eustis Street
side, stands a dark slate stone in a good state of preservation, on which
is inscribed :
Here Lyeth Buried y 6 Body of : Iohn Grosuenor who Deed Septe m y e
27th in ye 49 Year of his Age 1691
On this stone is cut a coat of arms, the garb in the dexter quartering
and the crest, a talbot statant on a wreath, pointing apparently to a
connection with the ancient Grosvenor family of co. Chester, England.*
The family tradition that John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass.,
came from Chester, where he married Esther Clarke, an heiress, has
been accepted as an established fact. Most published genealogical
sketches of him state that he was a son of Sir Richard Grosvenor,
Bart.; but this cannot be true, as Sir Richard, the first baronet,
who died 14 Sept. 1645, left only one surviving son, Sir Richard, the
second baronet. This second Sir Richard, who died 31 Jan. 1604/5,
had five sons, of whom all except Roger, the eldest, died unmarried.
• The well-known family of the Grosvenors, of which the Duke of Westminster, of
Eton Hall, co. Chester, is at present the most prominent member, claims descent from
Norman lords who in the tenth century held a barony at Venables in the Duchy of
Normandy, about thirty miles from Rouen, on the road to Paris. Hugh Lupus came
into England with the Conqueror and was made Count Palatine of Chester. With
him, it is said, came his nephew, the ancestor of the later Grosvenors, Gilbert le Veneux
(the Huntsman), who, with others of the family, received large estates in Cheshire.
The appellation U Veneur was taken from the office of huntsman (in Latin senator) to
the Dukes of Normandy, which was hereditary in this family before the Norman
Conquest of England. The name Grosvenor, which, according to Ormerod, the his-
torian of Cheshire, is not found before 1260, is said to be derived from the title le Grand
Veneur, which appears in various forms, such as le Graunl Venur, Grauntvenour, le
Groa Venour, le Grosrenour, le Gravenor, and finally Grosvenor. Pedigrees of the various
branches of the family may be found in the English Visitations, and much information
is given in Ormerod's History of Cheshire. The Grosvenor arms were: Aiure, a garb
or. Various signs for difference distinguished the various branches of the family.

132 English Home and Ancestry of John Grosvcnor [April
The writer of this article has made an exhaustive search of the
Grosvenor records in England. Having become convinced, by
research and by correspondence with the Duke of Westminster, the
Rector of Eton Hall, co. Chester, and the Secretary of the Lancashire
and Cheshire Historical Society, that John Grosvenor, the immi-
grant ancestor of the family in New England, did not come directly
from the Chester family, he turned his attention to the branches of
this family scattered throughout England. Guided by the coat of
arms on the gravestone at Iloxbury, he decided that John Grosvenor
must have come from Shropshire; and his labors were rewarded by
finding in St. Leonard's Church, at Bridgnorth, Shropshire, the record
of John Grosvenor's baptism. At the College of Arms in London he
found a pedigree of the Grosvenors of Bridgnorth, certified in 1663
by Leicester Grosvenor, the eldest brother of John of Iloxbury, which
was respited "to make proof e of the Descent from the Grosvenours
of Eton in Cheshire," but "nothing [was] done therein." This
pedigree, a copy of which is given in this article, enabled the writer
to go back to the grandfather of John of Iloxbury; and the wills of
the grandfather and father of the immigrant, abstracts of which are
given below, as well as entries in the registers of the parish of St. Leon-
ard, Bridgnorth, confirm the line given in the pedigree. The writer
has not succeeded in determining the connection of the Grosvenors
of Bridgnorth with the Chester family; but that John Grosvenor
of Roxbury was descended from that family there can be little
doubt.
The English records relating to the Grosvenors of Bridgnorth
follow.

136 Krujlish Home and Ancestry of John (iTosirnor [April
From the foregoing and a few other English records tad from
various Now England sources the following ( Irosvenor* pedigree baa
been compiled:
1. GllOSVEN'OK.f
Children (order of birthfl unknown):
2. i. William.
ii. Roen, of Coventry, to. Warwick, living in 1509, when he irai
mentioned in the will of Iuh brother William.
iii. Joyck, living in 1599, when she m mentioned In the will of bet
brother William.
2. William Grosvenok, of Bridgnorth, co. Salop, Gent., the
tator of 1599, was buried in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridg-
north, 17 Jan. 1599/16004 He married in thai parish,
1G Nov. 1590, Ursula Blunt, § who married secondly, in
the same parish, 4 June 1G00, John Davies (or Davis) and
living, as the wife of John Davis, 22 Nov. 1004, when her second
husband proved the will of her first husband.
Children, baptized in the parish of St. Leonard, Bridg-
north :
3. i. William, bapt. 18 Dec. 1593.
• In tho early records this surname often appears in the forms Gravcner and
Gravcnor.
f Perhaps the William Gravcner, "Hon 1 * Gen.," who was buried in the parish <>f
St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, co. Salop, 30 Oct. 1680, was identical with N<». 1 of thil
pedigree; and the Margaret Gravenor who was buried in that parish ."» I »<t L5fl
have been his wife. The Barbara Gravenor who was buried in the same parish Is Mar.
1613/14 was perhaps a sister of the William who was buried there in 1589. In th<
parish William Peat and Johoanc Gravcner were married 26 June 1502, and Hugh
Gravcner and Joane Strccte were married 11 Dec. 1593; but the connection of these
Gravencrs with the family described in this article is unknown.
X The Church of St. Leonard, founded in tho tenth or eleventh centuries, stands in
a close near High Street, Bridgnorth, which is surrounded by buildings of Elizabethan
or Jacobean date. Its fine old stained glass and its tombs were destroyed during the
siego of Bridgnorth by Cromwell in 1646. But in more recent years tho church has
been restored, and is worthy of the ancient town that it adorns. The original church
was built mainly in the style of the thirteenth century, though its handsome tower, of
salmon-red sandstone, is of a somewhat later style. A fine open-timbered KM
brought to light during the restoration. The nave is remarkable for its exceptional
width, and in this respect the church is exceeded by no other parish church in England
and by only three cathedrals.
§ In the pedigree entered by Leicester Grosveuor, her grandson, in 1663, the wife of
William Grosvenor (2) is called "daughter of Cruck of Cruckhall in Bridgnorth."
The maniege reoord in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth, calls her
"Ursula Blunt." In 1404 Sir Nicholas Blunt or Blount, who had been involved in a
plot for the restoration of King Richard II, changed his name to Croka, in order to
escape punishment from Henry IV; and his descendants appear sometimes under the
name of Croke or Cruke and sometimes under the name of Blunt or Blount. In the
registers of the parish of St. Leonard both names arc found for this family. Mamben
of the Blount family played important parts in English history'- ^i r Walter Blount,
a supporter of John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, and of his son. King H< :iry I V. m u
slain by Archibald, Earl of Douglas, at the Battle of Shrewsbury'. 23 July 1 4()3. He is
a prominent character in Shakspere's King Henry IV, Part I. He married Donna
Sancha de Ayala, a Spanish lady of high rank, and in the reign of Edward IV their
grandson became the first Baron Mountjoy and was Lord High Treasurer of England.
William Blount, the fourth Baron Mountjoy, a grandson of the first Baron Mountjoy,
was a patron and friend of Erasmus. Mrs. Anne (Marburyl Hutchinson, so famous in
the early history of New England, was a descendant of Sir Walter Blount and his wife,
Donna Sancha de Ayala, and several New England families may trace their ancestry,
through the Marbury family, to this Shaksperean knight and his Spanish consort.
For the Blount family see pedigrees in various English Visitations, articles in the
Dictionary of National Biography, and Sir Alexander Croke's Genealogical History
of the Croke Family, surname,! La Blount.

* Perhaps she had been married previously to her marriage to John Hord, for the

Bridgnorth.
X The name of the messuage may have been derived from the priory of the Grey
Friars that existed in Bridgnorth before the dissolution of the monasteries iii the reign
of Henry VIII.
§ The names of the children of William (Grosvenor are given in what seems to be the
most probable order. The order of births of the four sous is given in the pedigree
entered in 1663, and Leicester, the eldest son, is s aid in this pedigree to have been 36
years old at that time. The baptisms of the sons William and John and the daughter
Jane are recorded in the registers of the parish of St. Leonard, Bridgnorth. In his will
of 1652 William Grosvenor apparently mentions first his unmarried daughters in the
order of their births and then his married daughters in the order of their births. The
pedigree of 1663 gives the daughters (except Susanna, who does not appear there) in
this order: Mary, Lettice, Grace, Jane.
|| If this Lettice Grosvenor was born about 1630, she was. of course, too young to
have been the Lettice Gravenour whose marriage to John Wood, 19 Oct. 1641. is
recorded in the registers of St. Leonard's, Bridgnorth.
*jj Since the gravestone of John Grosvenor of Roxbury, Mass., states that he died
27 Sept. 1691, in his 49th year, and since the John Grosvenor who was baptized at
Bridgnorth 2 Jan. 1640/1 would have been in his 51st y<v>.r in Sept. 1691, it is possible
that the John who was baptized 2 Jan. 1640/1 died in infancy, and that another son
was born about two years later, who was named John and DMMM the emigrant to
New England. It is more likely, however, that the gravestone at Roxbury gives the

daughter of Christopher and Eleanor (Walden) of Stoke, co.
Warwick, Kleanor Walden being daughter of Isaac of Coven-
try, co. Warwick. In 1GG3 he entered a pedigree of his family
that went back as far as his grandfather, William Grosvenor;
but this pedigree was respited in order that descent from the
Grosvenors of Eton, co. Chester, might be proved, and
nothing further was done in the matter. When Leicester
(Irosvenor died in 1090, all his sons and all his brothers except
John were dead; and therefore his only surviving brother,
John Grosvenor, then residing in New England, became the
head of this branch of the Grosvenor family.

a son of William and Susanna (Paston) Grosvenor of Bridgnorth.

(Suffolk Deeds, lib. 13, fo. 32S.)t
Drake in his "Town of Roxbury " (p. 323) says that John
Grosvenor's dwelling house and four acres of orchard and
pasture were on the northeasterly corner of the present
Tremont and Parker Streets. He was the first person to
carry on the trade of a tanner in Roxbury, a town later noted
for its tanneries. In the seventeenth century, along the
valley of the River Severn in England, from Shrewsbury down
to Worcester, the tanning industry was very important, and
Bridgnorth was famed for its tanneries and for the quality of
the leather produced there. It is probable, therefore, that
John Grosvenor, one of the younger sons of the family,
learned his trade there. In 1678 the town of Roxbury
granted to him a lot of land "at the bridge and old mill . . .
for liming leather in fee, and not to sell but for such use, and
to be forfeit if it damage the water for cattle or man." (lb.,
p. 324.) He also held at Roxbury "the responsible office of
town constable, then of great dignity and importance." (lb.,
p. 102.)
John Grosvenor was one of the six original purchasers from
Maj. James Fitch, 1 May 1686, of the Mashamoquet grant

of 15,100 acres, which included flic territory of the present
towns of Pomfret, Brooklyn, and Putnam, and the parish of
Abington, Conn. It is said that he was sent by the pro-
prietors to Norwich, Conn., to pay to Major Fitch the pur-
chase money. On 6 May 1 080 the original grantees named
six other associates.* These twelve proprietor! were all resi-
dents of Roxhury, Mass., and on 9 Mar. 1080/7 they met to
consult about the settlement of their purchase. The consent
of Major Fitch to any arrangement that they might make
being judged necessary, they voted that their "truely and
beloved friends, Samuel Rugglcs, Sen. and Jun., John White,
Samuel Gore and John Grosvenor," were authorized "to treat
with Major Fitch in and concerning all matters relating to
said lands." On 7 Apr. these men reported that half of the
land was to be laid out at once. Before the division was
effected, however, Andros assumed the government of Con-
necticut and it seemed best to defer action. The survey and
division were accomplished at last during the winter of
1693/4, and on 27 Mar. 1694, nearly eight years after the
purchase, the proprietors met in Roxbury to receive their
respective shares. John Grosvenor had died in 1691, but he
was represented by his widow, who received the first allot-
ment. It consisted of 502 acres, and comprised the land
where the village of Pomfret now stands and the hills which
surround it, including Prospect Hill, which faces the east, and
the commanding eminences called Sharp's Hill and Spauld-
ing's Hill on the west. (Cf. Larned's History of Windham
County, Connecticut, vol. 1, pp. 181-185.)
Esther Grosvenor was appointed administratrix of the
estate of her deceased husband, and on 17 Feb. 1691/2 filed
her bond for £700. On 16 Sept. 1695 she sold 6 acres called
Rock Pasture, the "Rightful Inheritance of Hugh Clarke late
of said Roxbury dec d and by the said Esther Grosvenor pur-
chased of his son John," and 3^ acres, the "Rightful Inheri-
tance of aforesaid John Grosvenor . . . together with Man-
sion house, barn, &c." On the same day she and her son
William "and all other heires of the said John Grosvenner"
purchased 65 acres at Muddy River, now Brookline, Mass.,
together with a dwelling house, the consideration being £312.
On 7 Oct. 1695 they purchased 30 acres at Muddy River,
"together with the house, fruit trees, wood," etc., the considera-
tion being £150. On 15 Apr. 1701 Esther Grosvenor, William
Grosvenor, Gentleman, and Susannah Grosvenor of Muddy
River, and John Grosvenor of "Mashamnggabuck" in New
London Co., Conn., sold "their Farme Tract" at Muddy
River.f About this time, probably, the Widow Esther Gros-
venor went with her family to Mashamoquet in Connecticut,
where she resided for the remaining years of her life. The
road to Hartford and Windham passed through the Grosvenor

was on the western declivity of Prospect Hill, near the site
afterwards occupied by Col. Thomas (Jrosvenor's mansion
house. Mrs. Grosvenor was a woman of gnat courage and
energy, and was held in high esteem by the early settlers of
Pomfret. It is a family tradition that she was skillful in
tending the sick. The so-called "Salmi" house, in which she
died, is still standing, and is owned by her descendants. Her
sons aided in bringing the large possessions of the family under
cultivation, and identified themselves early with the growth
and interests of the town.

A PLEA FOR AN AMERICAN HERALDRY
Contributed by Rev. Lekferd M. A. Hauqhwout of Ponce, Porto Rico,
and communicated by the Committee on Heraldry
[In communicating the following paper the Committee on Heraldry would
eay that, in respect to the origin of coat armor and the signi6cance which coats
of arms possessed among Englishmen in Tudor times, Mr. Haughwout expresses
views which are in close harmony with the views expressed by the Commit t- •• 1:1
a report which it made to the Society in 1914, the recommendations of which wen
adopted by the Society in that year. (See Register, vol. 69, pp. xvi-xxiii.) In this
report the Committee ventured to say that the frank ana fftirkl .assumption
of arms which told no genealogical falsehood had much to commend it, and more
than hinted at the possibility that such a practice might some day be favored by
the Society. Consequently the Committee deems Mr. Haughwout '3 BUgge
well worth consideration and discussion.)
If heraldry were nothing more in essence than an appurtenance of
rank and aristocracy, it would merit but scant consideration in a land
vol. lxxii. 10
148 A 1'lcii for (in Ammcan Ihrtiblnj [April
of democratic ideal-. Both its history, bo wera, tad the in*
which it, inspires in many of our best citizens p
democracy is unimpeachable -indicate that it u iomethins do
In an Old-World environment, to be sure, it has reflected Old-World
ideals and conceptions, and lias adapted itself to the complex ftniO-
Uire of the body social. Hut. the same may be said of many another
institution; and it would he too much to assume that herald: .
this account, is contrary to the genius of a democratic poop!--.
The essential purpose of primitive heraldic devi not the
distinction of rank, hut of families and clans, or, in QflSS of combat, of
their leaders and re pr es en tatives. How true this is will !>■• eeco from
a consideration of the heraldic achievement itself. The Nature
of prime importance in a coat of arms is, of course, the shield, and
after that the crest. But both of these are common pr o per ty (with
variations of a purely genealogical significance) of the whole family,
and are borne by persons of widely different station. It is only in
the form and position of the helmet or coronet that difTerem .
rank are indicated. And this pertains to the "paper heraldry"
of later times, and not to the institution in its prime.
Nor is it true, even in modern heraldic practice, that the:
thing essentially aristocratic in the mere possession of a coat of
arms, if we may judge from so learned an exponent of heraldic science
as Mr. Arthur Fox-Davies. "No man," he says, "can demand, M
a matter of right, that a grant of arms shall be made to him; bur
there are few people who desire to have arms and are ready to pay
the fees who would meet with the refusal. ... I have never hear- 1 - 4
a person with a title, a member of any of the professions, a just:*
the peace, or a graduate of a university, being refused a grant of
arms, and . . . down to the present day, 'merchants, 1 under that
description and without subterfuge, have continually had grants
made to them." (Heraldry Explained, pp. 17-18.)
It is apparent, then, that the accident of birth bean no n«< <
relation to the right to display arms, even under the strict law
usages of English heraldry. And from the preceding paragraph it is
seen that the idea of rank is itself an accident and not an essentia]
feature of the institution. Heraldry is not, in other words, incon-
sistent with democratic theory; and if sufficient cause existed, there
would be no real objection to the adoption of an heraldic system in
our own country.
But is there a justifying cause? To the writer's mind there i.-.
it is not different in kind from that which first brought heraldry
into existence. Never was there greater need for emphasis upon
family unity than at the present time. The great expansion of our
population and the kaleidoscopic conditions of modern life have well-
nigh destroyed the old and healthful conception of the clan family.
And with it have gone the ideas of family honor and the perpetuation
of inherited traditions. Surnames no longer identify the family
stock, and the old clans which at one time centred about anc-
homesteads are scattered the length and breadth of the land.
Here then is the justifying reason for an American heraldry — for
the adoption by established families of such insignia as will serve
1018] A PUa for an American Heraldry 149
to identify them Mid emphasize their unity. Much to this end has
already been accomplished by the various historical, patriotic, and
genealogical societies of the country; but the significant symbolism
of the heraldic system is needed to complete and popularize their
work.
It would be futile, of course, to look for the establishment by law
of an institution for "granting arms," after the pattern of the heralds'
colleges of Europe. Even if it were possible, it would be undesirable.
If heraldry is to come to all, it must come as a natural growth, with
its roots started in favoring soil. It must win its way t hrougfa a .-low,
practical demonstration of usefulness and not by the artificial method
of legal creation. Later on, it may be, the Government will see fit to
regulate or protect it through an extension of the copyright law, but.
not until it has first demonstrated its existence. And this, indeed,
is precisely the history of heraldry in the past. Family insignia
were used by our ancestors before the elaborate laws of heraldry were
invented. The State intervened, not to create the institution but
to regulate it.
As we are not subject in this country to foreign laws, and as tin-
idea of family insignia is older than any existing college of arms,
there is no theoretical reason why any American family should not
adopt an appropriate symbol. It would be far better, however, if an
heraldic society were formed for registering such insignia and for the
better maintenance of correct heraldic principles. This function
might well be assumed, for the benefit of their members, by the
patriotic societies mentioned above; or the historical and genealogical
societies might undertake to register or assign arms for individuals
of good standing who would file authenticated pedigrees. Nominal
fees might be charged for the service, and it would be the society'.-
especial care to see that the devices chosen conform to heraldic usage
and that the rights of those already possessed of arms are not invaded.
To avoid the assignment of coats of arms to different branch.
the same family, the English usage should be followed of making the
grant "to the grantee and his descendants, and to the other descend-
ants of any specified ancestor." Other matters of detail, no doubt,
would have to be worked out, and difficulties of one kind or another
might arise; but there should be nothing insuperable.
The most probable and, at first sight, most weighty objection to the
plan will be advanced by those who esteem the heraldic idea most
highly and who are themselves provided, it may be, with inherited coats
of arms. "There is a certain idea very prevalent," says Mr. Arthur
Fox-Davies, "that, whereas an ancient coat of arms is most honour-
able, a modern one is a fit subject for ridicule and contempt." No one
will question, of course, the desirableness of an ancient coat of arms
rightfully inherited through a line of ancestors. But to assume.
therefore, that no other device is worthy of respect is the height of
absurdity, and would, in course of time, bring all heraldry to an end.
There was a time when the oldest "coats" were new, and we can
hardly think the less highly of our ancestors on that account.
And, after all, is there not much to be said for the proposition that
it is better to create a new and honestly American system of our
150 More Blanchard Family Records [April
own than to depend upon tin- precarious armorial titles which have
drifted upon our shores? Some of these, hut very few, are authentir
enough. A much larger number, four fifths of tftoee actually dftj
and displayed on Americai] walls and stationery, an- entirely Qctittoue.
Mere identity of surname is assumed by many as sufhnent basis for
the use of a coat of arms, regardless of deS06H< or the actual dl
the original grant. It is not, uncommon to find representatives of
families of eight or ten honorable American generations using
of arms which were granted in England long after their an<
came to the Western World — and to grantees of much less distinction.
Nor is this larceny of arms always the fault of the user, for many pro-
fessional genealogists do not scruple to deceive their .clients in the
interest of a fee.
That there is a growing desire in this country for family insignia,
for some outward and visible token of clan unity, is indispm
The desire itself is a healthy and honorable one, and there should be
provided a legitimate mode of satisfying it. Satisfied it will be in any
case, legitimately or not; and unless something is done by those in a
position to deal with the matter, we may expect to see the p re se n t
confusion worse confounded. The plan suggested above is eminently
worthy of consideration, on the grounds both of practicability and of
its faithfulness to the essential principles of heraldic science. A
of arms, backed as to " gentility" by a good American pedigree, duly
registered and proven, and bearing as an augmentation the distinguish-
ing mark of some Revolutionary or Colonial society, would not fail to
command respect, even in the Old-World haunts of the heraldic Sli
[n no other way can the use of arms in this country be vindicated as
a democratic institution.
MORE BLANCHARD FAMILY RECORDS
Communicated by William Hknrt Blanchard of Montpolicr, V
The records given below may be regarded as a supplement to the
records of the family and some of the descendants of Samuel 1 Blan-
chard of Andover, Mass., which were printed in the RbgUJTMB,
vol. 60, pages 373-376. They arc preserved in a little notebook,
apparently home-made, of sixteen pages, with a paper cover, the
pages being about 6 J- inches in height, by 4 inches in width. The
records are scattered over six different pages of the book, the <
pages being blank, and, with the exception of the entries on the page
giving the children of Nathaniel 3 Blanchard and the entry of the
death of Lemuel 4 Blanchard, are in the handwriting of Lemuel 1
Blanchard.
Nathaniel 3 Blanchard (Thomas. 2 Samuel 1 of Andover, M
was born 2 Feb. 1719 [1719 '20] (Register, vol. 373). He
lived in the plantation called Roadtown. which in 1761 waa incor-
1918] More lilanchard Family I ft cords 151
poratod as the town of Shutesbury, now in Pranklio Co., Mass.; Bad
his farm was conveyed to him by his father, Thomas Mam-hard, in
two deeds, recorded at Greenfield, MaiB. The first of these <i'
dated .'* Feb. 1715 [? 1745/6), establishes the parentage of Nathaniel
of Shutcsbury, "Thomas Blanchard of Andovcr in the Oountj of
Essex and Province of Massachusetts Bay in New England yeoman "
acknowledging the payment of "fifty pounds old tennar . . . by my
son Nathaniel Blanchard of Road town in the County of Hampshire,"
etc.
Lemuel* Blanchard, son of Nathaniel, 3 spent more than half his
life in Shutcsbury and vicinity. He married first, in 1785, Phebe
Mayo, and after her death on 4 Mar. 1816 he went to Ac worth, N. H.,
where his brother Joseph had settled about 1790,* stopping 00 the
way at Westmoreland, N. EL, where his brothers Isaac and Nathaniel
were living. He married secondly, 17 Sept. 1818, Widow Margaret
(Witherspoon) Davidson, and their daughter Betsey was born 20
June 1820. In 1832, leaving his wife and twelve-year-old daughter
Betsey with one of his wife's sons, he returned to Massachusetts and
lived, it is supposed, in New Salem and later in Rutland with hie
daughter Miranda, who had married George King at Shutcsbury in
1805. His journeys between Massachusetts and Acworth are

A clue to the English home of the Patteshall family of Maim* and
of Boston, Mass., was found several years ago in a marriage Licence
issued by the Bishop of London in 1034, an abstract of which was
printed in the Publications of the Harlcian Society and in the /.'
Institute Historical Collections. At the request of the contributor of
this article a search of the registers of the parish of St. Mary-lc-
Strand, London, was made by Miss Elizabeth French, and several
entries referring to the Patteshall family and to the Denham family
(the family to which Edmund Pattcshall's wife belonged; were dis-
covered. Summaries of these entries, preceded by the abstract of
the marriage licence already mentioned, are given below, and are
followed by a brief genealogy of Edmund Patteshall, the immigrant
to New England, and his immediate descendants.

he deposed 27, 8 mo. 1655, aged abt. 40 ;f d., probably unm., in
New Pnflairi not later than 17 June 1671, the date of the in-
ventory of his estate. Administration on his estate was granted
in Boston, 27 July 1671, to his nephew, Richard Patteshall (3).J
According to Savage's Genealogical Dictionary he was of Boston
in 1652, a merchant, and was captain and magistrate in the
temporary County of Devon, Me. It was not this Robert, how-
ever, as Savage conjectures, who was killed by the Indians at
Pemaquid, Me., in 16S9, but his nephew and administrator,
Richard Patteshall. Robert Patteshall appears in Boston rec-
ords as early as 1653, and is often called " Mr." In 1655 he pe-
titioned the General Court aeainst duties on importations. §
His name appears in the records of York Co., Me., as early as
14 Feb. 1655/0, when he vu witness to a dced,|| and he acquired
land in Maine on the Kennebec River and above Saco Lower
Falls. The inventory of his estate includes lands in "Kynni-

resting on depositions.

the oath of fidelity to Massachusetts at a court at Pemaquid, 22
July 1674; t and as "Capt" Edmund Pattishall of KflOebeek' 1 bfl
was appointed a commissioner, with others, to hold courts within
the County of Devon, to join people in marriage, and to punish
criminal offences, according to the order of the General Court in

he owned in Kennebec River, called Paddishale's Island, and his

merchant, baptized in the parish of St. Mary-le-Strand, Loudon,
20 May 1636, is found in New England as early as 1664, and prob-
ably came over with his father. He was killed by the Indians at
Pemaquid, Me., 2 Aug. 16S9.|| He married first, about 1663, Abigail
; and secondly Martha Woody, born at Roxbury, Mass.,
24 Jan. 1651/2, died 21 Apr. 1713, aged about 61, daughter of Capt.
Richard of Roxbury. He was appointed in Boston, 27 July 1071,
administrator of the estate of his uncle, Robert Patteshall; end he
was admitted freeman in Boston 7 May 1673. U He acquired lands
and islands in Maine, and lived for many years on Paddishale's

t Mr. Richard Denham, as appears from the records given above, had in 1620 a
wife named Elizabeth, but it is not certain that she was the mother of his daughter
Martha, baptized in 1611. She was probably the Mistress Denham from whose
house Anne White was buried 23 Nov. 1646. Six children of Mr. Richard Denham
are recorded in the registers of St. Mary-le-Strand, and he was buried 22 Mar. 1636/7.
He was churchwarden in 1621 and 1622, and was evidently well-to-do, three of his
menservants and one maidservant being buried in 1603 and another manservant in
1613.

|[ In Mather'B Magnalia, book 7, appendix, article 4, the story of the attack by the
Indians on the fort at Pemaquid, 2 Aug. 1689. and of the surrender of the fort on the
following day is told, "and Mr. Patishal," Mather adds, "as he lay with his sloop in
the Barbican, was also taken and slain." That this was Richard Patteshall is proved
by the deposition of John Cock in Boston, 18 Sept. 1736, who, aged about 78 years,
declared that he well remembered that "Rich* Paddeshall Carryed his family from &
Island in Kenncbeck River to Pemmaquid where he was killed as he afterwards Heard."

§ For Richard Pattcshall see Register, vol. 17, p. 237, and Suffolk Probate Rec-
ords, vol. 67, ff. 161, 103. His estate, according to the inventory of 7 Oct. 176S. was
appraised at £259. 16s. lOd. The marriage intention of Richard Pateshall and Ann
MUford was recorded in Boston, 16 Sept. 1748, and is marked "forbid." It is prob-
able that they were married later and that Ann Milfoni was a widow, with a daughter
Ann; for the marriage intention of Thomas Crane and Ann Milford was recorded in
Boston, 18 Nov. 1756, and in his will, dated 8 Feb. 1791, Thomas Crane mentions
his wife Ann and his mother-in-law Mrs. Ann Patteshall (Register, vol. 47, p. 80).
Thomas Crane's wife, therefore, seems to have been Ann Milford, a stepdaughter of
Richard Patteshall, and not his own daughter (as is suggested in Reoister, vol. 47,
p. 79).

6 March. A stated meeting of the Society was held in Wilder Hall, 9 Ash-
burton Place, at 2.30 P.M., President Baxter presiding.
The minutes of the annual meeting were approved, and the reports of the
Corresponding Secretary, Librarian, Historian, and Council were accepted, the
Council reporting the names of five persons who had been elected resident members.
President Baxter then presented to the audience of over four hundred members
and guests Miss Mary Boyle O'Reilly of Boston, who, in an address entitled One
Thousand Days Back of the Front, described some of her experiences in the coun-
tries devastated by war, holding the undivided attention of her hearers as she
portrayed the sufferings of stricken humanity beyond the seas. Apropos of the
work of this Society, Miss O'Reilly emphasized in a series of interesting anecdotes
the value placed on the preservation of town and family records by those forced
to abandon their homes at the approach of the invaders.
On motion of Rev. Anson Titus a vote of thanks to Miss O'Reilly was adopted,
and the President declared the meeting dissolved,

Tkuesdale-Gilbeht Records. — The records given below are found on fly-
leftVM at the back of an imperfect copy of a volume of sermons which came into
my possession many years ago. The book states that the sermons w«-r.' written
by ''Samuel Bolton, D.D. and Master of C. C. C." [Christ College, Cambridge],
and that they were " Printed by Robert Ibbitson, for Thomas Parkhurst, and are
to be sold at his Shop over against the Great Conduit in Cheapside, 1656." The
records are written on seven different pages, but on the first page fragments only
of some of the entries remain, the page having been badly torn. On the succeed-
ing pages, however, the entries, beginning with the words "Roacord of th<- Gilbert
Family From the Year 1706," are well preserved. The records are as follows:

[These records pertain to two related New England families. Richard Trues-

27 July 1634, and was made a freeman i Mar. 1634/5. He became a butcher,
was a deacon of the First Church, and one of the founders of the Third or Old

Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry <>f the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desirea to call special attention t«> the recommendation in its
report Of - r > May 1914 (see Rkoiktkr, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent <»r otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that, any original pettier in thifl country inherited I < -, >:it of MIDI or that
any inhabitant of this country recefaed ■ grant of arms !><• invited to offer the
arms for record with this Society," etc.
The Committee believes thai the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest ; and they earm-stly re(ju<\-t
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arm^ which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The <
painting the arms and making op the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.
This amount, by cheoue payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If the application is rejected the money will be returned
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms recorded with those respited f or j, r o, ( f.
The Committee, however, reserves the right to reject any application altog
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of course, be returned.
It seems evident that, besides the growth in value of the collection as it increases
in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such as photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements in!
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.
Printed directions for the making of applications may be obtained from the
Committee; and ail communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.
Genealogies in Preparation. — Persons of the several names are a d vised to
furnish the compilers of these genealogies with records of their own families
and other information which they think may be useful. We would suggest that
all facts of interest illustrating family history or character be communicated,
especially service under the U. S. Government, the holding of other offices, grad-
uation from college or professional schools, occupation, with places and dates
of birth, marriage, residence, and death. All names should be given in full if
possible. No initials should be used when the full name is known.

FRANKLIN HOWARD GILSON
By Alden P. Gilson, S.H., of Wellcsley Hills, Mass.
Franklin Howard Gilson, printer, elected to resident member-
ship in the New England Historic Genealogical Society in 1903 and
made a life member in 1911, died at his home at Wellesley Hills,
Mass., 19 April 1917, in the sixty-third year of his age.
He was born at Cambridge, Mass., 21 December 1854, the BOO
of Henry Yend and Mary Spofiord (Bailey) Gilson, and was sixth 11 1
descent from Joseph 1 Gilson, through John, 2 John, 3 Solomon, 4 Asa, s
and Henry Yend, 6 his father. Joseph 1 Gilson married at Chelms-
ford, Mass., 10 or 18 November 1661, Mar}' Cooper or Caper, and
afterwards settled at Groton, Mass., where he was one of the original
proprietors of the town.
Franklin Howard Gilson was educated in the public schools of
Somerville, Mass., whither his father had removed from Cambridge
in 1857. At the age of seventeen he left the high school, in order to
learn music printing, being apprenticed to Andrew B. Kidder, then
the leading music printer in Boston. In 1877 he entered the book-
printing office of Rand, Avery & Company, to obtain a wider knowl-
edge of the general printing business. When this had been acquired,
he started in business in 1878 on his own account, with a fellow
workman as partner, each putting in five hundred dollars, with
which, as capital, a small music typesetting plant was purchased.
Within the first year the partner withdrew, taking for his interest
Mr. Gilson's note; and the latter developed the business alone. The
field for music typesetting was limited and the competition sharp,
and during the second year Mr. Gilson and five employees were
sufficient to care for all the work that came to the modest establish-
ment. But as a result of persistency and of careful attention to
every detail the volume of business increased, and at the end of five
years had doubled.
From 18S4 to 18S8 some publishing was done, including several
school music books and a periodical, The School Music Journal, which
Mr. Gilson also edited. Then, finding that his publishing created
some feeling among his customers in his printing business who wen
also publishers, he sold his catalogue to the Oliver Ditson Company,
and again confined his work to printing alone.
VOL. lxxii. 11
1G4 Franklin Howard OiUon [July
In 1888 fire destroyed a large part of his plant; but he purd
that of C. M. (lay, his Strongest Competitor, and when ha own plant
was reconstructed the two were brought together under one roof.
Securing a large contract for preSBWOrk and binding in 1889, he
bought out the establishment of Carter A Weston, printers and
bookbinders, including nine Adams presses and a large amount of
bookbinding machinery. In 1891 be added departments of music
engraving and lithographing, making five distinct departments m the
establishment — those of music typesetting, printing from electro-
type plates, music engraving, lithographing, and bookbinding.
In 1891 the business was incorporated under the name of \\ H.
Gilson Company, with Mr. Gilson as president and manager.
In 1899 the book-composing room of C. J. Peters was destroyed by
fire, and Mr. Gilson took over his uncompleted work. This was the
beginning of what is to-day the principal work of the company, the
printing of scientific textbooks, genealogical books, and other books
of a high-grade and intricate nature. Shortly after this the music
engraving and lithographing departments were sold, Mr. Gilson
preferring to devote all his energies to the typographic method of
printing.
In 1914 an electrotype foundry was added to the establishment, so
that now every process in the manufacture of a book is carried on by
the company — music composition, book composition, electrotyping,
presswork, and bookbinding. The company has not only the largest
book-printing plant in Boston but also the only one in Boston in
which a book can be made complete from manuscript to bound copy.
From five employees in 1879 the regular force has increased to over
one hundred and thirty to-day.
The successful development of this large industry is a practical
demonstration of Mr. Gilson's great business sagacity. It was a
fundamental business principle with him that a transaction, to be
right, must be mutually advantageous to the parties concerned.
Living up to the high level of this principle won him the confidence
and esteem of all with whom he dealt. He was upright and straight-
forward in all his affairs.
Mr. Gilson made several inventions of commercial value. The
interest in amateur photography which he had maintained since
boyhood led him to design an adjustable photograph album for his
own use. Tins he later patented and manufactured on a large scale.
He also worked out an exposure table for amateur photographers,
and invented a " glue pencil " for use in mounting photographs. All
these devices have sold widely.
His favorite relaxation from business was in the observation and
study of nature, particularly of botany. It was while he was still a
young man that he began under difficult conditions this nature study.
Making long days in Boston in the printing trade, he would start
from home very early and often walk long distances on the way to
Ins train, and then on the train analyze with his faithful Gray's
Botany the new flowers he had found. His knowledge of the flora
about his home was so complete and Ins powers of observation so
keen that he discovered species new to the region, such as Ceanothus
1918] Franklin Howard GiUon \r,r>
ovatus; peculiar forms, such as the form of the black IpTUM th.it
establishes a zone of new plants by the natural layering and rooting
of its lower branches; also certain characteri.-.tic .*, of tree leafing UM
branching which had escaped the eye of that brilliant botanist.
Gray, whom Mr. Gilson knew very well.
Trees he especially loved, and he published in two editions (1887,
1888) "Trees of Heading, Mass.," in which five notably fine BpeCUDflllfl
were illustrated from photographs. For this work he used a special
lens, selected after many trials to secure one that would give the
greatest perfection in the definition of details from tin; ground to the
tips of the branches, and the illustrations produced are a striking
evidence of his determination to excel in whatever he undertook.
Mr. Gilson's boyhood and early manhood were spent in Somerville.
He married, 23 September 1874, Emily Isabel Lowry of Nashville,
Tenn., daughter of Robert and Mary Ann Clark (Lowry) Lowry, and
in 1875 they moved from Somerville'^toJ Reading, Mass., where their
five children were born and where they lived until 1890. In that year
Mr. Gilson moved with his family to Wellesley Hills, Mass., where
he resided until his death.
As a citizen he took a keen interest in the affairs of his town, and
was never too busy to do his full share in its service. He served
several terms as park commissioner and two terms as selectman of
Wellesley. As a town official, as in his business, he analyzed every
problem presented to him with the utmost care, and Ins opinions were
definite and positive because they were based on most scrupulous
investigation. He was too broad-minded to be actively partisan.
Every question was settled in his mind entirely on its merits, as he
worked it out without bias and with only the welfare of the town to be
considered. No citizen ever gave the town more conscientious and
intelligent service.
He was not what would be ordinarily called a social man, as his
other interests largely outweighed those of a purely social character.
He was so many-sided that new interests were constantly developing
to give zest and freshness to his remarkably active mind, a mind which
made far too strenuous demands on his body and winch completely
wore out the body while the mind w r as at the summit of its develop-
ment.
Mrs. Gilson survives her husband, and four of their five children
are living: Mrs. Beatrice A. Slocombe, A.B. (Cornell, 1904), of
Worcester, Mass., Mrs. Isabel C. Adams of Bayside, Long Island,
N. Y., Alden P. Gilson, S.B. (Harvard, 1906), of Wellesley Hills,
secretary and treasurer of the F. H. Gilson Company, and Mrs. Anna
R. Adams of Newton Highlands, Mass. Their second child and elder
son, Claude U. Gilson of Holliston, Mass., for many years an officer
in the F. H. Gilson Company, died at HolListon 27 December 1916.

JOHN HOLMAN OF DORCHESTER, MASS.,
AND HIS DESCENDANTS
By Alfred Lyman Holman of Chicago, III.
The English home of John Holman of Dorchester, Mass., the
immigrant ancestor of the family which forms the subject of this
article, was at Swyre, co. Dorset, a parish on the coast of the English
Channel, about six miles southeast from Bridport in the same
county. According to Moule's "English Counties," published in
1838, the parish contained (presumably about that time) only 43
houses and 210 inhabitants. The parish church, dedicated to the
Holy Trinity, is a restoration and enlargement of the old church that
has stood there for several centuries. The oldest book of the parish
registers, after having been lost for many years, was discovered in
the parish of Puncknowle, which adjoins Swyre on the east, and was
restored to the custody of the then rector of Swyre in Feb. 1892. It
includes baptisms, marriages, and burials from 1587 to 1718, and is
in a most tattered condition.* This register and the will of Morgan
Holman, father of John of Dorchester, Mass., are the chief sources of
information about the English connections of the New England
immigrant.
Henry Holman, of Swyre, co. Dorset, grandfather of John of
Dorchester, Mass., is the earliest ancestor of the New England family
from whom descent has been proved, and was dead in 1587. He
married Joan Jolliffe, who was buried in the church of Swyre
28 June 1604, daughter of William of Martinstown, Winterbourne
St. Martin, co. Dorset. In one of the early parish account books at
Swyre there is a reference to a bequest of £10 given by Mrs. Joane
Holman of Barwick, f widow, who was buried 28 June 1604. Another
item in regard to the same bequest reads. "The like sommc of Tenne
pounds given likewise Mris. Joane Holman widow late of Barwick in
Swyre aforesaid deceased for ever to remaine to the said use and
yerely imployment & yerely to yeeld 20s.," and there is also "an
account showing how 24s reed for year 1614 for the use of £10 given
for ever to remain in stock for use of the poor by Mris. Joane Hollrmin
late of Barwick."
Children (order of births unknown) :
i. Morgan, b. probably abt. 1563. See below,
ii. Anne, living 19 June 1614. when she was mentioned as ''my sister
Anne Waye 1 ' in her brother Morgan's will; m. Wate

Morgan Holman (Henry), of Barwicke [Berwick] in the parish
of Swyre, co. Dorset, Gentleman, born probably about 1563,
was buried at Swyre 1 July 1614. He married at Swyre,
24 Oct. 1596, Alice Odberre, who was living 19 June 1614.*
As Morgan Holman of Barwick, aged twenty-five, he held in
1588 a cottage at Burton-Bradstock, co. Dorset, a parish
adjoining Swyre on the west. He was churchwarden at
Swyre in 1607 and overseer in 1608 and 1611. In the con-
tributions "for the relief of our poore" in 1614 he gave 12s.,
the largest amount given by any one person. He held of the
Earl of Bedford, by lease dated 1 Nov. 1606, for the term of
ninety-ninejyears, "determinable vppon my life & the lives
of Alice my wife and Robte my sonne," a farm at Berwick in
the parish of Swyre. The house and farm buildings were
situated about a mile north from the church at Swyre, and
distinct traces of the old house that must have been in exist-
ence over three hundred years ago can now be seen in the
present enlarged house. Extracts from Morgan Holman 's
will follow.

• An Alice Holman was married at Swyre, 11 Dec. 1621, to John Napper. and an
Alice Holman was buried at Swyre 23 Jan. 1628/9. One of these women — it is not
possible now to determine which one — may have been the widow of Morgan Holman.
Who the other one was is unknown, although it may be conjectured that, if the Aliro
Holman who was married to John Napper was the widow of Morgan, the Alice who was
buried in 1628/9 may have been the wife of his son Morgan, for the elder Morgan
Holman does not appear to have had a daughter Alice (unless perhaps there was a
posthumous child of that name) and his sister Alice is known to have married, before
19 June 1614, Thomas Bishop.

Proved 19 April 1623. (P.C.C., Swann, 33.*)
Morgan Holman 's bequest of £5 for the benefit of the poor
of the parish of Swyre was evidently not carried out, for in
1639 an entry in the parish account books reads: "Besides
there is ffiue pounds giuen by Mr. Morgan Holman deceased
wch wee [have] not received for wch we desire . . . assist-
ance." The last allusion to this legacy occurs in 1651, and
the overseers had not then received it and for the future
omitted to refer to it.
• The original will is on file at Somerset House, London. It is written on two
sheets, each of which is signed by Morgan Holman.

date of his will, and 18 Mar. 1652/3, the date of the inventory of his
estate. He married first, probably at Dorchester, Anne , who
was admitted to the church 4 Nov. 1639 and died at Dorchester 1 Dec.
1639; and secondly, probably at Dorchester, about 1640, Anne
Bishop, baptized at Bridport, co. Dorset, England, 22 Oct. 1616,
daughter of Thomas and Avis (Abbot). About two years after the
death of John Holman his widow, Anne (Bishop) Holman, was
married to Rev. Henry Butler, A. B. (Harvard, 1651), A.M. (Harvard,
1654), the schoolmaster of Dorchester, and soon afterwards returned
with him to England. From a statement in the manuscript diary of
Rev. Michael Wigglesworth it may be inferred that the marriage of
Mr. Butler and Mrs. Holman took place 9 Mar. 1654/5, the entry of
that date in the diary reading: "Thursd. I wet to Boston & fro- y M to
Mr Butlers he being married." Mr. Butler, according to Calamy's
"Ejected or Silenced Ministers," vol. 2, p. 611, died at Withamfrary
[Witham-Friary, co. Somerset], England, 24 Apr. 1696, aged 72
years. His wife, the widow of John Holman, was already deceased
on 4 Aug. 1673, when Mr. Butler, describing himself as "now or late
of yeouell" [Yeovil], co. Somerset, England, conveyed to Thomas 1
Holman (John 1 ) of Milton, Mass., his interest in the estate of John
Holman, and referred in the deed to "anne my late wife."*
The following entries in the "Aspinwall Notarial Records" prove
that John Holman of Dorchester, Mass., was identical with John,
son of Morgan Holman of Swyre, co. Dorset, England; and the
second entry shows also the disposition made by John Holman of his
interest in the paternal lands at Swyre.

John Holman, son of "Morgane Holman late of Barwick, gent.,"
was enrolled at Dorchester, co. Dorset, England, 25 Mar., 20 James
I [1622], as an apprentice to "Win. JollifTe of Dorchester, wollendra-
per," probably one of his father's relatives.* If he served the full
time of his apprenticeship, this would account for him until nearly
1630, the year in which it is believed that he emigrated to New Eng-
land. Possibly he sailed in the advance ship of Winthrop's fleet, the
Mary and John, whose passengers, landing at Mattapan in the
Massachusetts Bay Colony, called their settlement Dorchester.
At a meeting of the General Court in Boston, 3 Oct. 1632, John
Holman and Henry Way were authorized to receive £40 out of a
fine of £45 imposed on Nicholas Frost, and to keep Nicholas Frost
"in boults . . . till his ffines be paid, dureing w rh time hee [Frost] is
to beare his owne charges."! ^ n Py nc heon's papers John Holman
is mentioned as a collector of furs at Dorchester, Mass., in 1633. He
was a landholder at Dorchester, and is mentioned often in the town
records from 1 Sept. 1634 on, when Bray Clarke and John Allen were
ordered to build a house "upon the Rocke by John Holman." His
farm which he left by his will to his sons Thomas and Samuel and to
his wife was in that part of Dorchester which was set off in 1662 as
the town of Milton. He was a selectman of Dorchester in 1636, 1637,
and 1642, was chosen by the General Court, 9 Mar. 1636/7, ensign
for Dorchester, was a member of the "Jury of Life & Death" at a
Quarter Court held at Boston and Newtown 19 Sept. 1637, *and was
the nineteenth signer of the original roll of the Ancient and Honorable
Artillery Company in 1637. At a " Generall Court of Elections,"
held in Boston 2 June 1641, Lieut. Willard, John Holman, and Rich-
ard Collicott, with so many as they should receive into their society,
were given a monopoly of trading with the Indians. J
The will of John Holman, dated 10 June 1652, is as follows:
"Whereas almighty God haveing layd upon me a great affliction I thinke
it my duty to dispose of that smalc estate God have given me to prevent
trouble for time to come: And whereas the honorable Court have established
a Law the eldest sonne shall have a double portion my earnest desire is and to

John Holman."
The estate of John Holman was, for that time, a large one, the
inventory, taken 18, 1 mo. 1652/3, showing a valuation of £739.
16s. The appraisers were Richard Collicott and William Robinson
of Dorchester, and the inventory was "Accepted prouided y* execu-
trix Appeare before the next County Court giue in securitie for the
Childrens porcons." *
In his will John Holman had declared that John, his eldest son,
had proved disobedient and stubborn, and instead of leaving to him
the customary double portion he had bequeathed to him £50, to be
paid when he should have reached the age of twenty years. The
young man was born 23 Feb. 1637/8, and was therefore about fifteen
years old when his father died. On 17 Apr. 1656, when he was
eighteen years of age, he "came before the Magistr, & with their
allowance chose Robert Badcocke to be his guardian." f His reason for
doing this was undoubtedly for the purpose of bringing a suit to
contest his father's will, and to this end he filed a petition with the
General Court, in which he states that he is the "eldest sonne of his
father by his former wife; mother unto your petitioner and by that
parentall care and tender endevors your petitioner with the rest of
the children was honestly and religiously brought up whilst his mother
lived;" that he always behaved himself as a dutiful son, "the folly
and vanity of child hood and youth excepted. . . . But so it came to
pass your petitioners mother died and in some space of tyme his
father marred another woman of good repute liveing at that tyme in
dorchester by whom he had fouer cluldren two sonnes and two
daughters among whom your petitioner and his sister Mary were
still continued in the family;" that he behaved liimself "like a duti-

of folly and vanity among Ufl children did DOW and then fall out as is
insident unto such families where children of severall mothers are M
was the condicon of godly Jacobs family and of his grandfather
Abraham;" that his fathers will deprives him not only of his legal
and just rights as eldest son, but defames him by characterizing him
as a disobedient son; and he prays that the validity of the will may
be inquired into, "whether it may not fairly appeare that my father
did not resolve against me or intend it to stand in force but only to
quiet my Mother & to be a terror unto me to keepe me in awe." *
The action of the General Court in regard to this petition is shown
in the records of the session of 14 May 1656, as follows:
"In answer to the pet of John Holman, of Dorchester, desireinge to haue
his fathers will made voyd, this Court referrs it to the next County Court for
Suffolk, to be heard, both ptyes & wittnesses, &: if it appeare to the sd Court,
vpon hcaringe the case, that there is just reason to make null or alter the will
of the petitions father, then the. sd Court to state the ca.se, & report the
grounds thereof to the next session of this Court; but if the contrary appear
to the sd Court, viz*-, that the will ought to remayne in force, & the petio" not
to make any further trouble, & in that case, also, the sd Court to giue reasons
to this Court why they app'hend the the will ought to stand in force, & also
that securitie be forthwith taken by the secritary to the value of one hundred
pounds, vpon the estat of M r Jolin Holman, deceased, to be responsall for
what this Court shall determine & conclude herein vpon information from
the County Court."t
In connection with this suit the following declaration was made by
Mrs. Anne (Bishop) (Holman) Butler, stepmother of the petitioner:
"To the Honnord Court Assembled at Boston, The Declaration of Anne
Butler sume time Wife and now Executrix to Jno. Hollrnan late of Dor-

"And whereas I am Informed that John Hollman and others doe labor to
prove that I was the caus why his father didnt give him a double portion that
I must absolutely deny I never moved his father to any such thing but it was
his own Voluntarie act unknown to me until such time as he read his will in
my hearing I then discovered that it might l>e otherwise my husband was
displeased with me as I supose overseers can witnes but as I said before I am
unwilling to discover shame but the truth is it was John Hollmans ill carriage
toward his father that was the cause his father did deprive him of a double
portion it was not only the Miss carriages of his childhood for as I suppose
he was seventeen years old or thereabouts when his father dyed and he being
growne up to years of Descreation and his father in great affliction it was
greevious to him to see his son soe to cary himselfe the wch he hath often
bewaled not only to myself e but to others allso; and Reproved and Told him
the danger and Evill that wold follow and Insue such Corsess. I shall
Instance in some particulars though the Lord knowes I desire nott to speake
in prejudes to John Hollman but for the clearing of the truth as the Cases
now stands soe farr my Declaration may have credit given to it I shall not
say anything in thisse consarning his carriage towards me as his mother but
only of his carage towards his father.
"His frquent Expressions the old man will never Recover it and then I
shall have double portion the house and land shall be myne and his carraige
hath Been very unnatnerall his father never above twise that Ivremember
desired his son John to do a mean offies for him his answer was a dogs take it
it stinks like poyson whereupon his father threw his slipper at him and told
him with many teares that he was a curssed cham he also told him of Elis
Sons and of the sins of disobedience to parents and his answer was why doe
you not hang me then
"His father hath ofTt thretened him to have him before the Majestrate
and before the Church; his father hath divers times spoaken of his death
but it never brought a teare from him that I ever could perceive in soe much
that his father hath offten said to him; I feare God hath reprobated thee;
his father tooke it very greeviously that when he had been abroad at his
Returne he would not speake to him nor aske him how he did his father told
him he would make a publike example and could finde in his hart never to
give him a penny he told his father to his face that he did not care Lett him
do what he would and when his father lay dead in the hous he did desire to
see the will that he might know what his father had given him and when he
did know he wondered that his father had given him soe much.
"Much more I could have added in severall particulars but I am not
willing to trouble the court in laying blemish upon John Hollman without
constrainte but leave it to the testimony and Examination of others of the
court see caus to call for it.

baptism of "Mary of William Blanton aged about 8 days" is entered under date of
"3 day 6 mo." 1645. It is likely, therefore, that she was born towards the end of

the oiorning of June 27th," and took part in thfl OfNratMBI
at Mount Hope.* He look the oath 01 allegiance in Boston,
11 Nov. 1G78. In 1G7 ( J he was mentioned as being "in Capt.
John Hulls Co. [South Company of Boston], List of those for
watch," and in 1081 he was taxed in Boston under "No. 8.
Capt. John Hulls Comp." On 27 Mar. 1682 he was com-
plained of for selling "beere & Cyder by retayle" without a
license.
It may be supposed that after this time lie becameja regular
soldier, as the name of John Holman, corporal, is found in a
list of "Soldiers in garrison at Fort Albany, on the 26th of
October, 1G89, who took the oath of allegiance to King Wil-
liam and Queen Mary." The records show also that Capt.
Peter Schuyler "listed" John Holman, with some others, in
1692, for Kings County, and that in 1698 John Holman was
in Captain Weems's command.
Some correspondence between Judge Samuel Sewall of
Boston and the Earl of Bellomont, Governor of New York,
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, furnishes the latest
known record of John 2 Holman while he was still living.
Under date of 5 Aug. 1700 Judge Sewall wrote a letter to Lord
Bellomont, in which the following passage occurs:
"I would pray your Lordship to admit my speaking one word in
behalf of John Holman, a Souldicr at Albany. His sister Mason
though 63 years old, and tormented by the Stone, yet came over to
me this morning to solicit on her Brothers behalf. Her Request is,
that your Excellency would condescend, either to put him into such
a station as may render his Life comfortable, or else to assist him,
(a Souldier grown old in His Maj* Service) in his Removal to Boston.
If Capt. Crow attend your Exc» Return to New- York, possibly, a
convenient passage might be obtained for him on the Kings
Account, "f
Lord Bellomont's reply is as follows :
"Albany, the Uth Aug: 1700.
"Sir:
"Before I received the favour of your Letter of the 5th inst., I
Inquired after Mr. Holman, calling to mind the request you for-
merly made me on his account. Tis in vain to promise you prefer-
ment for him, because that these companies being ill paid, or rather
not paid at all, the officers as well as the Souldiers are destitute and
in a miserable condition, therefore I conclude the kindest course I
can take is to send Mr. Holman to Boston to his friends, w'h I will

to Thorn.'us Holman of Milton, Mass., and two others. He
married Rachel Bateman, born in Boston 28 May 1651 and
baptized (First Church, Boston) 1 June 1651, daughter of
John and Hannah. She survived her husband, and was living
10 Nov. 1680, when her father made his will.
Samuel Holman was a chirurgeon or barber surgeon. As
Samuel Holman, "Barber," he, with his wife Rachel, con-
veyed to his brother Thomas Holman of Milton, in a deed
dated 21 Aug. 1671, "for a ualueable consideracon," his
one-quarter part in the dwelling house and farm in Milton
"knowne by the name of M r Holmans fTarme," which his
father had bequeathed to him in his will in 1652.* He
served in King Philip's War, under Captain Mosely, and in a
petition dated 5 Apr. 1676 states that he "went out to Mount
Hope under Capt. Moseley afterwards the Constable prest
some of his Instruments for chirurgery for Capt. Moseleys
Chirurgeon and soon after his horse was prest for the coun-
trys use." He also states that about two months since
petitioner was pressed to go to Narragansett under Captain
Wadsworth, but being sick he sent his servant Edward
Sampson at a cost of £14, and his servant has since been
pressed for another company. He adds that he has no
property to live on, only his calling, and he prays for relief. t
He was taxed in Boston in 1681, in "Capt. Daniel Hinkman's
Company," and again in 1687 and 1688.

Re married in Boston, 25 Nov. 1709, Hannah TUKNttt, who
was living 17 Aug. 1740, when her husband made his will,
daughter of Ralph of Falmouth, Me.
He lived in Milton for several years after his father's
death, but according to a deed of 15 Mar. 1720/1 bought
land in Rehoboth, and probably removed thither soon after-
wards. On 24 May 1727, in a deed in which he is called
"Thomas Holman late of Milton, now of Rehoboth, Cord-
wainer," he conveyed to his brother, John Holman of Milton,
in consideration of £5, all his interest in the house and lands
of his father, Thomas Holman. In a deed of 21 Aug. 1729
"Thomas Holman of Rehoboth in ye County of Bristol . . .
Cordwainer <fe Hannah his Wife w rh Hannah was Daughter <fc
Heir of Ralf Turner, late of Falmouth," in consideration of
£70, conveyed 200 acres of land in Falmouth which had
formerly belonged to the said Ralph Turner. In May 1728
he sold property in Rehoboth, acknowledging his signature
to the deed on 27 Mar. 1729, and removed, probably soon
afterwards, to Middletown, where according to a deed of
12 June 1735 he bought land on the east side of the Connect-
icut River. An abstract of his will follows.

that year paying to him £7 "for teaching our children and
youth in reading, writing, and casting accounts; and also in
Latin, as occasion is, and in doing the duty of school-master,
four months." * In addition to the property bequeathed to
him by his father's will he acquired by deeds from others of
the family title to more of his father's estate, and by deed
dated 9 Mar. 1727/8 he conveyed the same to Gov. Jonathan
Belcher. He removed with his family to Bridgewater, where
he became a prominent man, representing the town for many
years in the General Court and being highly respected by his

probably baptized in the First Church, Hartford, in Apr.
1690, and who died at Windsor 29 May 1740, daughter of
William and Dorothy (Forbes) of Hartford.
On 4 June 1703 twenty of the proprietors of Edgartown,
on the island of Martha's Vineyard, describing themselves
as "the major part of the owners, and holding the most, or
greatest propriety in and to the common or undivided lands
in Edgartown," thought it "meet and good for the advance-
ment of the whole propriety to allot and grant a division out
of the said lands unto Samuel Holman, tanner, a certain part
thereof for the encouragement of using and improving his
faculty in the trade (viz) a certain part or parcel of land being
about eight or ten acres, more or less, bounded easterly by
the highway, . . . which said land was formerly called the
minister's lot, being first intended therefor, but now al-
tered." * On 16 July 1703 Matthew Mayhew, as lord
proprietor, conveyed to Samuel Holman by a deed this land
granted to him by the proprietors, and on the same date, by
another deed, he conveyed to Samuel Holman one acre of
land, "part of the house lot "f of the Worshipful Thomas
Mayhew, Esq., deceased. f Five years later, on 9 June 1708,
Samuel Holman conveyed to John Holman of Milton this
property, described in the deed as a "tract of land in Edgar-
town . . . containing by estimation ten acres, . . . with
all the houses . . . and buildings, . . . timber, . . . waters,
. . . mines and minerals, . . . also a certain parcel of the
bark, . . . with a set of tanner's tools and mill with all the
fats and other materials which belong to a tanner." J

Webb, Jr., of Braintree, Mass.. 10 Dec. 1710; but the following deed, dated 9 Dec.
1710, from Matthew Mayhew to John Holman was apparently necessary in order to
enable the latter to convey to Peter Webb, Jr.. a valid title to the whole property.
"Know all men by these presents that whereas Major Matthew Mayhew late of
the Edgartown in Dukes County, Deceased did many years ago give and grant unto
Samuel Holman of the town of Milton, about one acre of land being part of fd May-

3. John 2 Seymour (Richard 1 ), of Hartford, Conn., born probably
at Hartford, died there between 10 Dec. 1712 and 3 Aug.
1713. He married Mart 2 Watson, who was living 10 Dec.
1712, daughter of John 1 and Margaret (Smith) of Hartford.
He was made a freeman in 16G7, and was an active and
influential man. In 1670 he and his wife owned the covenant
at the Second Church in Hartford, and on 31 Mar. 1678 they
were admitted to full communion.
In his will, dated 10 Dec. 1712 and proved 3 Aug. 1713,
he bequeaths to his wife Mary one third of his movable
estate for her disposal, and the remainder, together with his
house, barn, orchard, three acres of land, etc., he leaves to
her for her improvement. To his son John he gives twelve
acres, with dwelling house thereon, lying south of Robert
Webster's land, and also other lands. To his son Thomas
he gives land on the west side of the Farmington road, being
south of the land given to his son John, with dwelling house
and barn, and also other lands. To his son Richard he gives
the land where he [Richard] now dwelleth, with buildings
thereon, five acres, and £20 to be paid equally by his three
sons, John, Thomas, and Zachariah. To his son Zachariah
he gives three acres, with his [the testator's] dwelling house,
barn, etc., after the decease of his wife, and also other lands;
and Zachariah is to pay to the testator's two daughters £20
each. To his daughter Mary North he bequeaths £30, of
which his son Zachariah is to pay £20 and the rest is to be
paid out of the movable estate after his wife's decease. To
his daughter Margaret Root he bequeaths £30. The in-
ventory, taken by James Ensign and Thomas Richards,
shows property valued at £1158. 14s. Id., a large estate for
that time.

In his will, dated 14 Apr. and proved 11 Nov. 1702, he
bequeaths to his wife one third of his housing and hind in
Wethersfield; and she is to have one room in his dwelling
house as part of her third as long as she remains his widow,
and is then to receive a reasonable rent for her part of the
. house. To his four daughters he gives, in equal shares, all
his estate after the decease of his wife; and they are to
receive two thirds of their shares as they severally come of
age. He chooses his "loving brethren," John Seymour, Sr.,
of Hartford and Richard Seymour of Farmington, to be
overseers, with John Seymour, Jr., and Thomas Seymour
of Hartford. The final division of his estate was made 3 May
1714 between his widow, his daughter Mary, wife of Henry

Hannah of Farmington.
He was a freeman at Farmington in 1669 and one of the
eighty-four proprietors of that town in 1672. His wife
appears in a list of church members at Farmington, dated
1 Mar. 1679/80, and Richard became a member of the same
church on 31 May 1685. He settled in that part of Farming-
ton called Kensington (now the town of Berlin), and became
a leader in the settlement. There the Seymour fort was
built, within which were the cabins where the inhabitants
sought refuge at night during the Indian alarms, Richard
Seymour being the captain of the garrison. The well in front
of the fort still remains.
The inventory of his estate, taken 29 Nov. 1710 by Thomas
Seymour, Thomas Hart, and Thomas Curtis, showed property
valued at £416. 13s. 3d. Administration on the estate was
granted 4 Dec. 1710 to Hannah Seymour, the widow, and to

sons Samuel, Jonathan, and Ebenezer Seymour, daughter
Mercy Seymour, and Joseph Pomeroy in behalf of his wife
Hannah, another daughter of the deceased. After the death
of Hannah, the widow, a division of her estate was made

Seymour, Jonathan Seymour, Joseph Pomeroy, and George
Hubbard.

He married first Sarah Hayes, born at Norwalk 19 Sept.
1673, living in Feb. 1712, daughter of Samuel and Eliza-
beth (Moore) ; and secondly Catherine .
Matthew Seymour was a selectman of Norwalk for several
years and deputy to the General Court from Norwalk in 1712
and 1713. He was made lieutenant in 1710, and was chosen

Jehiel, youngest son Daniel (who is under age and is to have
the whole of the house after the decease of Catherine, his
mother), and daughters Hannah St. John, Elizabeth Bouton,
Ruth Smith, Sarah Bouton, Catherine, and Susanna. He
directs that some of the estate and "also my Negro man
Bristoll" be sold. He appoints his wife Catherine and his
brother John Seymour as executors. The amount of the
inventory was £436. 5s. Id.
• "On the same day that his child was born, the father, vii: Richard Seymour,
went early into the woods to look for horses, 5, 6 or 7 miles off; found and followed
one homeward: — but like to have perished ere he reached home.
" He was so feeble that he remembreth [nothing after coming down th*» last mount nin
by sight, and memory and strength in a manner] gone; — but God who leadeth tin-
blind in a way that they know not, directed him to John Norton. Jun., who was thrash-
ing in his barn, who took him in and put him to bed. — called friends al>out him, who
were diligent in the use of means for his recovery, after some time spent betwixt hope
and fear, as not knowing whether he would die or live; — He lying in a sad manner,
grating his teeth [and round in his hand that pleased God he exhibited and came to
rights again.)
" The day in which this fell out was January G, 1682. — a snowy Saturday, — espe-
cially the latter part of it. Had the man not been directed home, in likelihood he had
perished in the wilderness, and perhaps have been so far covered with snow as not to
have been found 'till wild fowls or beasts had preyed on him." (Church Records of
Farmingtou, in RaQlirf, vol. 12, pp. 3S, 147.)

daughter of Jachin 2 (John 1 ) ; and secondly Hannah .f
In his will, dated 28 Apr. 1746, with two codicils dated
5 May and 26 May 1746, and proved 5 Aug. 1746, he names
wife Hannah and son John Seymour of Norwalk (who are
appointed executors), daughter Mary Hanford and her hus-
band Thomas, to whom is given land bordering on land
formerly belonging to the testator's brother Matthew, " other
four " daughters, viz., Sarah Trowbridge, Abigail Selleck,
* The baptism of this child is recorded in the church records of Fairfield, Conn.
t In the absence of dates it is probable that Catherine and Susanna and possibly
Sarah were children ot the second wife, Catherine.
X She was probably Hannah Gould, widow, and had by her former husband a
daughter Hannah, who married James Hoyt of Norwalk. James Hoyt gave a receipt
dated 20 Feb. 1732/3, to Hannah Saymore, the mother and guardian of his wife
Hannah.

13. Jonathan' Seymour {Richard, 1 • Richard}), of Farmington,
Conn., baptized at Farmington 17 Apr. 1687, died before
5 Oct. 1725, when administration was granted on his estate.
He married, 23 Dec. 1714, Eunice 3 Hollister, born at
Wethersfield, Conn., about 1G9G, daughter of Capt. Stephen 2
(John 1 ) and Abigail (Treat) and sister of Abigail, wife of his
brother Ebenezer Seymour (12). Eunice (Hollister) Sey-
mour married secondly, 13 Jan. 1726, William Chitistor [i.e.,
Chichester] of Wallingford, Conn.
Administration on the estate of Jonathan Seymour was
granted 5 Oct. 1725 to his widow, Eunice Seymour, and to
Mr. Ebenezer Gilbert, and said Eunice was appointed guard-
ian of the children, viz., "Eliakim, 4 months old, Eunice, 10
years, Martha, 5 years [sic], Jerusha, 5 [sic], and Lois, 1 year
and 7 months." * Soon after the second marriage of Eunice,
widow of Ebenezer Seymour, his brother and sisters peti-
tioned the Court that some other persons be appointed
guardians of the children, because the said Eunice "is now
married to one Wm. Chi tester, a poor shiftless man, and the
children are in a suffering condition, not likely to be provided
for." * Robert Booth of Farmington was therefore appointed
guardian of Eunice, Jerusha, and Lois, and George Hubbard
of Middletown, Conn., who had married their aunt, Mercy
Seymour (5, iii), was appointed guardian of Martha and
Eliakim, children of the deceased.

BOWDITCH
Contributed by G. Andrews Moriarty, Jr., A.M., LL.B., Captain. U. S. N. A., of
Newport, R. I., and communicated by the Committee on English Research
The statement has been repeatedly made in print and has-been
generally accepted as correct that the William Bowditch who was at
Salem, Mass., in 1639 was the father of the William Bowditch who
died there in 1681, the latter being a customs official at Salem and
the ancestor of the well-known Bowditch family of Salem and Boston,
one of whose illustrious members was Nathaniel Bowditch, the
famous mathematician and astronomer.* It is the purpose of this
article first to show that these two Williams were not father and
son and secondly to present English records that reveal the true
ancestry and the English home of the William Bowditch who died in
16814
* Cf. Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, vol. 1. p. 220, American Ancestry, vol. 4,
p. 95, Reoister. vol. 50, p. 437. and Essex Antiquarian, vol. 10. p. 55.
t The contributor wishes to acknowledge the help that he has received in prepar-
ing this article from Charles Pickering Bowditch, A.M., of Boston, Harold Bowditch,
A.B., M.D., of Brookline, Henry Wyckoff Belknap of Salem, and J. Gardner Bartlett
of Boston, Mass., all of whom have given valuable aid and suggestions. The researchea
in England were made by J. R. Hutchinson of London.
224 Genealogical Research in England [July
The first William Bowditch, according to Savage, probably MOM
from co. Devon, England, as the family name is there of frequent
occurrence, but no evidence; establishing his Knglish home and con-
nections has thus far been found. He was admitted as an inhabitant
of Salem 20, 9 mo. [20 Nov.) 1039, and on 23, 11 rno. 1642 [23 Jan.
1042/3] received a grant of ten acres of land there. His wife Sarah
was admitted to the Salem church on 10, 3 mo. [10 May) 1040, and
on 4, 6 mo. [4 Aug.] 1046 was admonished by the Quarterly Court at
Salem "for offensive withdrawing from y e ordinance of Baptizing of
Infants," having, it is evident, become a Baptist.* Previous to this,
on 12, 12 mo. 1642 [12 Feb. 1642/3], their son Nathaniel had been
baptized in the First Church, Salem. f On 13, 8 mo. [13 Oct.] 1649
M Goodman " Bowditch received another grant of land, thirty acres, at
Salem, but after 1649 his name does not appear in the Salem records
for upwards of twenty years. Rev. Obadiah Holmes, however,
mentions in his writings that he baptized "Goodwife Bowditch," and
in 1651 Hugh Peter, writing to John Winthrop, Jr., at Pequot, Conn.,
asks him to entertain Goodwife Bowditch and her husband if they go
thither. These records show that William Bowditch and his wife
contemplated removing from Salem, beyond all doubt because of the
persecution which his wife must have suffered as a Baptist. They
may have removed to Newport, R. I., but the Rhode Island records
make no allusion to them. At all events, they disappear from Salem
in or about 1050 and never appear again as residents there. But on
9 Dec. 1673 it was ordered at Salem that the layers out of land lay
out and bound the lot formerly granted to William Bowdish accord-
ing to the town's grant, and on 12 Oct. 1674, only about ten months
later, Nathaniel Bowdish of Newport, R. I., sold to John Pudney
thirty acres of land at Salem Commons. It seems clear that this was
the land granted to William Bowditch on 13 Oct. 1649, and the fact
that Nathaniel alone sells the entire tract indicates that he was the
sole heir of his father. It should also be noted that this William
Bowditch, father of Nathaniel, appears in the records as. "Bowdish,"
not "Bowditch," that the form "Bowdish" was used by his son
Nathaniel of Newport and has persisted among his descendants, the
Bowdishes of Dartmouth, Mass., and of the Narragansett country,
and that at the present time there are Bowdishes living at Providence,
R. I. It is evident, therefore, that William Bowditch or Bowdish
and his wife Sarah lived at Salem from 1639 until about 1650, that
this William left Salem probably soon after the grant of thirty acres
was made to him in 1649 and before it was laid out, and that his son
Nathaniel, undoubtedly his only son and heir, the ancestor of the
Bowdishes of Bristol Co., Mass., and of Rhode Island, sold this land
in 1674. No evidence has been found that any land belonging to
William Bowditch, the father of Nathaniel, ever belonged subse-
quently to the William Bowditch of Salem who died in 16S1, nor has
anything else been found to connect the two men beyond the fact
that they both lived at Salem.

■Patting now to a consideration of the ancestry of the William Bow-
ditch who died at Satan in 1G81, it is possible to add to the negative
evidence on this question given in the preceding paragraph the posi-
tive evidence supplied by various English reOQTOl that reveal with
absolute certainty his English origin and home. A few years ago the
lost records of the British High Court of Admiralty for the seven-
teenth century were discovered in the Public Record Ofhce in Lon-
don, and among these papers Mr. J. It. Hutchinson found a deposi-
tion, dated 14 July 1699, of Capt. William Bowditch, only son of the
William Bowditch who died in 1681, in which he calls himself of
Salem in New England, and states that he has lived there for twenty
years, that he was born at Lyme-Regis, co. Dorset, and that he is
thirty-four years old. This deposition furnished the starting point
for further investigations in England, which brought to light the
will of William Bowditch, father of the deponent of 1699, dated
31 Mar. 1671 but not proved until 6 Nov. 1705. It was drawn up
before the departure of the testator for New England, while he was
still a resident of Thorncombe, now in co. Dorset but formerly a part
of co. Devon, England. The wills also of other members and con-
nections of this family were found, and, with the help of these wills
and of parish registers, especially those of Thorncombe, the ancestry
of the Bowditch family of Salem and Boston has been traced back to
John Bowditch of Thorncombe, who was buried there 17 May 1563
and was the great-great-grandfather of the William Bowditch who
died at Salem in 1681. Below are given abstracts of wills relating to
this family, numerous Bowditch entries from English parish registers,
and the deposition of Capt. William Bowditch of 14 July 1699; and
these records are followed by a pedigree in which the English ancestry
of the Bowditches of Salem and Boston is presented in the usual
genealogical form.

[From the foregoing English and from various New England records the
following pedigree, showing the descent of the Bowditch family of Salem and
Boston from John Bowditch of Thorncombe, co. Devon, England, has been
compiled:
1. John 1 Bowditch, of Thorncombe, now in co. Dorset but formerly
included in co. Devon, England, the testator of 15G3, was born probably
about 1515, and was buried at Thorncombe 17 May 1563. fie married, about
1539, Margery , who survived him and, as his widow, proved his will
1 1 Oct. 1568. It is not unlikely that he was a member of the ancient and
gentle family of Bowdich of Chardstock, a neighboring parish in Dorset, about
eight miles from Thorncombe, whose pedigree for sixteen fenerations is en-
tered in the Visitation of Dorsetshire for 1623 ;t and further research might
bring to light the exact connection between John Bowditch of Thorncombe
and the Chardstock family.
Children:
i. John," b. abt. 1540.
ii. Nicholas, b. abt. 1542; probably the Nicholas Bowditch who was
bur. at Thorncombe 14 May 1611. Probable children: Nicholas,'
bapt. at Thorncombe 12 Sept. 1567. Several who cannot be dis-
tinguished in the parish registers from others of the same surname.

Thorncombe 25 Apr. 1585.
2. iii. Robert, b. abt. 1544.
iv. Agnes, b. abt. 1546; living unm., but probably contracted in mar-
riage, in 1563.
v. Grace, b. abt. 1549; m. at Thorncombe, 14 Oct. 1575, George
Lttmbard.
3. vi. George, bapt. at Thorncombe 7 Sept. 1552.
2. Robert 1 Bowditch (John 1 ), born about 1544, was probably the Robert
Bowditch who was buried at Thorncombe, co. Devon, 10 July 1600.
He married, about 1566, Margaret , who was buried at
Thorncombe 18 Apr. 1585.

appointed on '27 Nov. L683 to set olT to the Widow Bowditob her
thirds in her lute husband's house and lands in Bolem, and ihfl joined
the Salem church 28 Mar. 1703. Her son William, when he proved
his father's will at Exeter, co. Devon, 6 Nov. 1705, mode oath that
he had a general letter of attorney from his mother.
William Bowditch "of the psh of Thorncombe in the county of
Deavon clothier" made his will 31 Mar. 1071, intending "to goe to
sea in the good ship]) called the John belonging to the {Kjrt of Topsom
[Topsham] in the county afforesaid." In this will he n»»-ntions his
Wife, his son William, and his two daughters, Sarah and Johanna, and
he makes his uncle Thomas Silvester, the husband of his aunt Kath-
erine Silvester (4, ii), and hLs brother Daniel Bowditch (5, v) his
supervisors. Originally the name of his "kinsman," George Gibbs,
was written in the will as one of the supervisors, but this name was
scratched out and that of hLs brother, Daniel Bowditch, substituted
for it.* The will was proved at Exeter, co. Devon, 6 Nov. 1705,
more than thirty-four years after it was made, by his son William, to
whom administration on his estate, with the will annexed, was
granted.
In Nov. 1671, a few months after he had made his will in England,
. William Bowditch appears in Salem, Mass., for among the papers in
the case of Capt. George Corwin v. Jon. GifTord, in which a verdict
was given by the court held at Salem on 28 Nov. 1671, is an account
of debts due from Mr. John GifTord in 1651, which was sworn to in
the Salem court by Mr. Jonathan Corwin and Will. Bowditch. f He
was one of the witnesses to a letter of attorney dated at Salem, 25
June 1673 :t and in a paper in a case in which a verdict was given by
the court held at Salem on 30 June 1674 he" is referred to as in "Mr.
Curen's" employ and is called "Mr. Bowdites."§ On 20 July 1675
he was licensed to retail strong water at Salem, and this license was
renewed yearly from 1676 to 16S0, inclusive. On IS July 1676 he
was presented to the court for living apart from his wife, but he gave
satisfaction and was dismissed. About 1679 his wife came to New
England, bringing with her their son William. On 20 Nov. 1679
William Bowditch mortgaged his land at Salem and his ketches to
Philip Cromwell for £400, on 18 Oct. 1701 the mortgage was redeemed
by his son and widow, and on 17 Nov. 1701 Sarah Bowditch, the
widow, released to William Bowditch, only son and heir of William
Bowditch, her dower rights in the said land.

NOTES
It having oom© to the attention of this Society that certain
genealogists and publishers have used the name of the Society
in connection witn their own enterprises, the Society again de-
sires to state that it has NO genealogical representatives in this
country or in England, nor is it in any way connected "with any
publications other than those that it issues over its own name
at 9 Ashburton Plaoe, Boston.
Hitchborn-Fadre. — On page 156 of the present volume of the Reqister
Thomas Hitchborn, born in Boston 30 June 1708, eon of Thomas and Frances
(Patteshall) Hitchborn, is said to have married in Boston, 14 Jan. 1734/5, Hannah
Fadre. This marriage appears in the Boston records under date of 14 Jan. 1734,
and an intention of marriage between Thomas Hitchborn Jun. and Hanah Fadry
is recorded on 6 Feb. 1730 (1730/1). In Suffolk Deeds, however, lib. 88, fo. 112,
the Christian name of Thomas Hitchborn's wife is given, 9 Feb. 1756, as Isannah,
this being the first record of this Thomas Hitchborn in the Suffolk Deeds. Now
the Boston records give the marriage of Nathaniel Fadrey and Susana Pitman,
20 Nov. 1704, and the birth of Nathaniel, son of Nathanll. Fadree and Isanna his
wife, 23 Apr. 1706, of Isanna, daughter of Nathanll. Fadree and Isanna his wife,
21 Apr. 1712, and of William, son of Nathanll. Fadroe and Isanna his wife, 2 Jan.
1714 (? 1714/15). The name Isannah is still found among the descendants of
this Thomas Hitchborn, and according to family tradition was originally Isanne.
In view, therefore, of the records and the family tradition referred to above and
of the survival of the name Isanna in the family, it seems probable that the wife
of Nathaniel Fadrey, whom he married 20 Nov. 1704, was Isanna (not Susana)
Pitman, and that the wife of Thomas Hitchborn, whom he married 14 Jan.
1734/5, was the Isanna Fadree who was born 21 Apr. 1712. A mistake in enter-
ing the Christian names in the original records or in transcribing them later may
have led to the name Isanna appearing as Susana in the marriage record of 1704,
as Hanah in the marriage intention of 1730/1, and as Hannah in the marriage
record of 1734/5. According to family tradition the surname Fadre, with its
other forms as given in the Boston records, was formerly Fadreau or Feydeau.

Historical Intelligence
Heraldry. — The Committee on Heraldry of the New England Historic
Genealogical Society desires to call special attention to the recommendation in its
report of 5 May 1914 (see Reqister, vol. 69, Supplement, pp. xvi-xxiii), "that
every person interested, by reason of descent or otherwise, in making it a matter
of record that any original settler in this country inheritea a coat of arms or that
any inhabitant of this country received a grant of arms be invited to offer the
arms for record with tins Society," etc.
The Committee believes that the importance of the results possible to be
attained by such registration will be of great interest; and they earnestly request
all members of the Society and all other persons who have coats of arms which
they believe to be eligible to make application for recording them. The cost of
painting the arms and making up the record will have to be defrayed by the ap-
plicants, and the Committee has determined that $3.00 for each coat will barely
suffice.
This amount, by cheque payable to the order of the Society, must be forwarded
with the application. If tne application is rejected the money will be returned
1918] Recent Books 247
unless the applicant wishes to have the arms reco r ded with those respited for proof.
The Committee, however, reserves th<* ri^ht U) reject, any application altogether,
and if this right is exercised, the money will, of eourse, he returned.
It eeemi evident that, beside* the growth in value of the OoUefllioO as it increases
in size, there will be many other things of extreme interest contributed with the
arms and directly related thereto, such jus photographs of castles, armor, seals,
manor houses, etc., and provision is contemplated for filing such contributions in
supplementary volumes in connection with the registers of the arms. Applica-
tions in which the proofs do not sufficiently conform to the requirements indicated
in the report of the Committee will be placed in a separate volume to await further
proof.
Printed directions for the making of applications may* be obtained from the
Committee; and all communications on this subject should be addressed to the
Committee on Heraldry, New England Historic Genealogical Society, 9 Ash-
burton Place, Boston.
Graves or Connecticut Soldiers. — From George Seymour Godard, M.A.,
State Librarian of Connecticut, the Register learns that Hartford (Conn.)
Camp 50, Sons of Veterans, through its Secretary, Charles It. Hale of East Hart-
ford, has been engaged for two years in attempting to locate and mark the graves
of the soldiers of the wars in which Connecticut has been engaged, as found in the
cemeteries in the towns of Hartford County. Effort is being made to locate the
graves of those who served in the Colonial Wars, the Revolutionary War, the
War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Civil War, and the Spanish War. Work has
Brogressed very satisfactorily in the following towns: Hartford, Avon, Bloomfield,
iurlington, East Hartford, Farmington, Glastonbury, Newington, Rocky Hill,
South Windsor (where the graves of fifty-one Revolutionary soldiers and seventy-
three Civil War veterans have already been located), West Hartford, and Wethers-
field. Work in Manchester and Marlborough is to be taken up next.
Each grave is numbered, and a brief note is made, giving the name, date of
death, and organization to which the deceased belonged. A blue print is then
made of the plot of each cemetery, showing the location of such graves, with the
name, service, and date of death.
In addition to the copy kept in the records of Camp 50 it is intended to furnish
copies of this chart to the town clerks, to those having in charge the placing of
flags on Memorial Day in the several towns of Hartford County, and to the
Adjutant General of the State. The original drawing will be placed in the Con-
necticut State Library; and on this additions may be made from time to time
and from it additional copies may be printed.
Another object of Mr. Hale's work is to have all graves now unmarked properly
marked by suitable headstones furnished by the State, if necessary.
It should be stated that Mr. Hale's services are volunteered.
